Soulfest Featuring Lauryn Hill And Mary J Blige Cancelled

Pras Michel, a founding force behind The Fugees, has been sentenced to 14 years in a United States federal prison, as a long-running foreign influence case reaches its final stage. The sentence, delivered in Washington on Thursday, closes an extraordinary legal saga for the rapper who helped define 1990s hip-hop with Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean.

September 12 stands as a milestone in music history, celebrated for legendary releases and the passing of iconic artists. Globally, it's the day The Beatles soared to No. 1 with “She Loves You,” Creedence Clearwater Revival dominated album charts with Cosmo’s Factory, and Pink Floyd unveiled the classic Wish You Were Here. Journey and Lauryn Hill also secured major chart triumphs, while the world mourned the loss of Johnny Cash. In Australia, the date carries its own weight with multiple number one singles and the birthdays of two significant artists.

Fugees rapper Pras Michel has delayed a scheduled sentencing hearing after undergoing emergency surgery for colon cancer.

The sentencing hearing has been rescheduled for October 3.
