Lauryn Hill has taken to Facebook to defend herself after fans at a recent gig complained that she was 2 hours late to the stage.
Hill was playing in Atlanta on Friday night, and was due to start her set at 8pm. However, it was 10.20pm by the time she arrived, and then she only played for 40 minutes as the venue had a curfew of 11pm.
She took to Facebook to defend herself against the comments made by angry fans, who accused her of 'not caring' about her audience - saying that the reason she was late was because she had to 'align her energy with the time' and promising to make it up to fans.
"I don't show up late to shows because I don't care. And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans," she wrote. "The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don't have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible. For every performance that I've arrived to late, there have been countless others where I've performed in excess of two hours, beyond what I am contracted to do, pouring everything out on the stage."
Some people were not so convinced:
You can read the full post here - but needless to say, we wouldn't recommend using 'I was aligning my energy with the time' with your boss the next time you're running late for work.
