Shakira Hospitalized, Cancels Lima Concert Due to Health Issue
Global music icon Shakira has been forced to cancel her much-anticipated concert in Lima, Peru, after being rushed to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. The 48-year-old singer, currently on her world tour, announced the unfortunate news on social media, expressing disappointment over missing the show.
Shakira, known for hits like Hips Don’t Lie and Waka Waka, revealed that doctors advised her against performing as she remained under medical supervision. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening,” she wrote, apologizing to her fans.
The singer’s hospitalization comes shortly after her recent Grammy win for Best Latin Pop Album, which she dedicated to migrants in the United States. She had just begun her highly anticipated tour in Rio de Janeiro, marking her first major return to the stage in seven years.
The tour, originally scheduled to include nearly 50 performances across Latin America before heading to the United States and Canada, now faces uncertainty following her health concerns. Fans are anxiously awaiting updates on whether her medical condition will cause further delays.
Before being hospitalized, Shakira had also delivered a breathtaking performance at the Grammy Awards, proving why she remains a dominant force in Latin music. While she hopes to be discharged soon and resume her tour, concerns remain over her ability to continue performing in the coming weeks.
