  • 22 September 2005

Former FUGEE LAURYN HILL has stepped in to open tonight's (22SEP05) Music Of Black Origin ([MOBO](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/mobo-awards)) Awards after R+B star [Amerie](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/amerie) cancelled her performance at the London ceremony.

Amerie, 25, is up for Best Single with 1 THING and was set to sing the hit track at the beginning of the star-studded ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall.

However, after Amerie was offered the chance to appear on [THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/the-oprah-winfrey-show), she cancelled the gig and has now been replaced by Hill, who will perform her 1998 track DOO WAP (THAT THING).

Hill will come face to face with her ex-husband ROWAN MARLEY's relatives, including singer [Damian Marley](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/damian-marley), who will appear at a special tribute to late reggae star [Bob Marley](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/bob-marley).
