JILL SCOTT HOSPITALIZED Grammy Nominated Singer Forced To Miss Opening Dates of Sting Tour Due To Illness
Philadelphia...Hidden Beach recording artist Jill Scott was hospitalized this past weekend in Philadelphia with a lung infection. After several grueling months of promotional dates and concert performances, Scott fell ill on May 5th, forcing the organic soul singer to miss the first two dates of the Sting tour. Scott, whose debut album, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1, has reached platinum status, was recently booked as an opening act for Sting's North American tour. The tour kicked off on May 5th in Washington, DC.
Scott deeply regrets letting down her ever-increasing and loyal fans in DC, a market that has supported her since her debut. But Scott will be able to resume the tour, according to her physicians. While there has been no determination as to when Scott will be released from the hospital, doctors expect her to fully recover.
With the release of Who Is Jill Scott?, the singer's soulful sound has been embraced by a broad fan base, building up from underground music lovers to pop fans. In fact, People Magazine has just named Scott as one of this year's "50 Most Beautiful People."
The Sting tour is scheduled to continue until May 26th. And you can expect to catch a healthy Jill Scott in a market near you soon.

"I used to be the town crier in a city of stone throwers Until my soul was laid bare and displayed in the pearled square Ignored, more than a lot, not less, no one understood my thought, process I was gagged and bound over noise complaints But, commanding the resolve that destroys constraints I, found my escape in a melding of memories The next thing I know, I'm rowing this boat And blowing this note on an old tarnished trumpet" Buck 65

Nuwb or "blackness" is supreme balance before the chaos was introduced. It was a state of sound, right reasoning. That darkness was triple darkness, which is what you would call the absence of consciousness, or the state of being awoke. In actuality, the dream state is more real and peaceful than the chaos you meet once you are awake. A form of spiritual darkness responsible for the spark that turned on the light that is the life and intellect of all who breathe and think. When the light is turned on again, the chaos begins. The differentiation begins. The separation begins. The rights and the wrongs, the goodness and the badness; the supreme balance is broken and the ego begins to verse the "I."
We were at the DC concert. I'ma Jill fan, my boo's a Sting nut. I was pissed the f*ck off when she wasn't there. I was that Oxen Hill bytch lookin' for my money, and it pisses me off that Jill is getting this Hallmark card treatment. She's toured before, Wasn't she in some musicals? WTF? See, ya'll don't know how hard it is to find a sitter for twins in DC! Ms. Scott, we crank your music like it's going out of style, please stop ruining me and my man's nights out. They happen to be fewer and fewer now that the twerps (twins) have come on the scene.
