Shakira cancels show after being hospitalized in Peru

Shakira’s much-anticipated return to Lima hit an unexpected snag this weekend. The Colombian superstar, known for chart-toppers like Hips Don’t Lie, had fans buzzing with excitement for her Sunday performance at Estadio Nacional. However, the singer’s health had other plans.

Why was Shakira hospitalized?

Late Saturday night, Shakira experienced severe abdominal pain, leading to an emergency room visit. By Sunday afternoon, she shared the unfortunate news on her social media platforms:

“I’m sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” she wrote. “The doctors... have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”

This announcement came as a disappointment to the throngs of fans who had eagerly awaited her first performance in Peru in over a decade. Many had gathered at the airport upon her arrival.

Despite the setback, Shakira remained optimistic about her recovery. She hoped to be released from the hospital soon and promised to reschedule the canceled show. Her team is already coordinating with promoters to find a new date.

When will Shakira’s tour restart?

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, supporting her latest album of the same name, had kicked off successfully in Brazil earlier this month. The Lima concerts were set to be a highlight, marking a significant return for Shakira to her Peruvian fanbase.

As of now, it’s unclear exactly how this health scare will impact her upcoming performances, including another scheduled show in Lima and subsequent dates in Colombia. Fans worldwide are sending well-wishes, hoping for a swift recovery for the beloved pop icon.
