Shakira to resume world tour in Peru after canceling concert due to 'abdominal issue'
Shakira, who kicked off a world tour last week, was forced to cancel a performance in Peru on Sunday due to a recent hospitalization.
The Colombian pop star, 48, took to Instagram to share with fans that her Sunday concert in Lima was canceled after the singer was hospitalized with an unspecified abdominal issue.
"The doctors taking care of me have informed me that I'm not in condition to perform a concert tonight," Shakira wrote on her Instagram Story, in Spanish.
The singer noted the show will be postponed to a later date and said her team is working with the concert promoter on rescheduling.
Shakira reflected that she was "very sad" over the concert cancellation. "I've been so emotional and excited to meet again with my beloved Peruvian fans," she said.
"I hope to be better tomorrow and that they discharge me as soon as possible so I'm able to perform the show I've prepared for all of you," Shakira concluded.
Paste BN has reached out to representatives for Shakira for comment.
Shakira appeared to make a quick recovery, with the singer sharing on social media the following day that her Monday concert at Estadio Nacional in Cercado de Lima, Peru, would continue as planned.
"Thank you for all your loving messages. You give me so much strength!!" Shakira wrote on her Instagram Story late Sunday. "I love you with all my heart."
The "Puntería" singer launched her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, in support of her 12th album of the same name, on Tuesday with a performance in Rio de Janeiro. Shakira then took the stage in São Paulo on Thursday.
Following her Rio concert, Shakira wrote on Instagram: "Rio! I couldn't have asked for a better crowd to kick off the tour! Thank you for all your love, warmth, and energy on an unforgettable night!"
The album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," the singer's first release since her high-profile breakup with longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué, has scored six No. 1 hits. The confessional LP also earned her a Grammy Award for best Latin pop album earlier this month at the 67th annual Grammy Awards.
