Shakira Hospitalized in Lima, Postpones Upcoming Show

Shakira has been hospitalized in Lima, Peru, and will postpone the show she was slated to perform Sunday (Feb. 16) as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour.

In a statement in Spanish posted in her Instagram Stories, the global superstar wrote she had to go to the emergency room due to an “abdominal” condition and was currently hospitalized.

“The doctors who are taking care of me have informed me I’m not in condition to perform a concert tonight,” Shakira wrote, referring to the show scheduled for Sunday (Feb. 16) at Lima’s Estadio Nacional.

“I’m very sad to not be able to get onstage today,” the singer added. “I’ve been full of excitement and anticipation to see my beloved Peruvian fans again. I hope to be better tomorrow and to be discharged as soon as possible to be able to give you the show I’ve prepared for all of you.

“Our plan is to do this show as soon as possible. My team and the promoter are working on a new date to provide you.”

“Thank you for understanding,” she concluded the note. “I love you very much.”

Shakira launched her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour on Feb. 11 in Rio de Janiero, then played a second show Feb. 13 in Sao Paulo. Lima was slated to be her next stop. She is still scheduled to perform in Colombia, beginning Feb. 21 in her native Barranquilla.
