Shakira fans in Peru were left disappointed after the Colombian superstar was forced to cancel her scheduled concert in Lima due to a sudden hospitalization. The singer, who recently kicked off her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour, revealed that she had to rush to the emergency room for an unspecified abdominal issue and remains under medical care.
“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,” Shakira shared in a statement. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening. 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.”

At this time, it remains unclear what exactly caused her hospitalization or how long she will be sidelined. Her representatives have yet to release further details, leaving fans wondering if her Monday night show in Lima or her upcoming stops in Colombia will also be affected.

This unfortunate health scare comes just weeks after Shakira took home the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. The album, which translates to Women No Longer Cry, has been a major success, fueling the excitement for her world tour. She even performed at the 2024 Grammy Awards, where she reminded everyone why she remains one of Latin music’s biggest global icons.
Shakira’s career has been on an upswing despite ongoing legal battles, particularly in Spain, where she has been facing tax fraud allegations. Last year, she scored a victory when prosecutors recommended dropping a second investigation into her finances. Meanwhile, she continues to dominate the music scene, proving that even after decades in the industry, she’s still a force to be reckoned with.
For fans in Lima, the disappointment is real, but Shakira has already assured them that she is working on rescheduling the concert. Whether or not she will be cleared to perform Monday night remains to be seen, but for now, all eyes are on her recovery.
Hopefully, this is just a minor setback for the singer, and she’ll be back on stage soon. After all, Shakira isn’t one to stay down for long.
