In a social post on X, Shakira announced that she has been hospitalized and will have to postpone her scheduled concert Sunday in Peru.
The stage blazer had been wowing audiences on her ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ tour since arriving to the country on Friday to proceed with the Latin leg of the trek.
In the post she revealed that she had to go to the emergency room Saturday night for an abdominal issue. She confirmed that she remains hospitalized.
She said the doctors who are caring for her told her she is “not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”
She wrote:
“I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized.
The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”
Continuing, the statement read:
“I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today. I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru.
I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform. My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you.
Thank you all for your understanding, I love you all.
Shak.”
She said she and her team are already working on scheduling a new concert date for the fans. According to the tour schedule on her website, she is also supposed to play the stadium Monday night before heading to Colombia later in the week. It is not yet clear whether Shakira will be cleared to play Monday.
