With news hitting the web this week of a reconciliation between estranged Fugees members Wyclef Jean and Pras, and with third member Lauryn Hill embarking on a much-hyped winter tour, the wind started whispering yet again of a long-awaited Fugees reunion. But Wyclef has spoken up and put the brakes on any reunion speculation. Simply put, the Fugees reunion is not happening.
“When it comes to Lauryn and Pras, it’s my childhood, they always bring me to that place,” Wyclef told the BBC. “At the end of the day Pras is my brother and Lauryn is my sister, despite what the media say. The Fugees are not meant to be. We’re rock stars from a locked group. You’re going to have egos and differences but at the end of the day I love them both very much.”

Wyclef Jean has been hospitalized. The former Fugee has been suffering from headaches for weeks, forcing him to check himself into a hospital in New Jersey, where he lives. Apparently, the rapper/singer/songwriter has been suffering from fatigue and stress.
“He has been following a very heavy schedule, that has taken him to Europe twice, Asia and Africa, at the same time he’s working to finish his upcoming album and he has been meeting with a few head of States during the General Assembly Session at the U.N.,” Billboard quoted a source as saying.”He is currently suffering the effects of lack of sleep and stress, global travel, even the endless public eye, and has asked that his fans and supporters bear with him for the next several days as he regains his physical health and stamina.”
“Then he will be back out in front of the crusade to rebuild Haiti and his pledge to make it even better for business.”
