Colombian superstar Shakira canceled her Sunday concert in Lima after being hospitalized with an abdominal condition, the singer said.
Shakira took to her Instagram and Twitter accounts to share a message on Sunday afternoon, revealing that she has been admitted to the hospital. According to the doctors, she is not currently fit to go ahead with her scheduled performance.
Expressing her disappointment, Shakira mentioned, “I am feeling very disheartened that I won’t be able to grace the stage today. I was looking forward to an emotional and exciting reunion with my adoring fans in Peru.”
The renowned singer arrived in Peru on Friday night with plans to perform on both Sunday and Monday. This visit marks the second leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour in Latin America, where she had previously held successful shows in Brazil just last week.
Latin fans have given Shakira a warm welcome, with crowds gathering at airports to greet her. “Thank you for such an emotional welcome, Lima!” she posted Saturday on Instagram.
In her statement, Shakira said she hopes to recover soon. “My plan is to perform this show as soon as possible. My team and the promoter are already working on a new date,” she said.
The singer is touring in support of her latest album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, in which she channels her highly publicized divorce into music. The record includes the global hit “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and won Best Latin Pop Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards earlier this month.
Shakira’s tour continues across Latin America before heading to Canada and the U.S. in May for a series of concerts through June.
