Lebanese-Colombian superstar Shakira — who recently embarked on her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour — has been hospitalized with an “abdominal issue” forcing her to postpone her show in Peru.
“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,” she wrote in a statement shared to X Sunday. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”
The “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker, 48, added that she was “very sad” about the postponement as she had been “looking forward to reuniting” with her “incredible fans” in Peru.
Shakira shared that she’s hopeful she’ll be feeling better by Monday to be released and return to the stage.
“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 concluded.
The Grammy winner also shared the same statement in Spanish on the platform.
Shakira, who kicked off her tour at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro last Tuesday, February 11, is scheduled to perform again in Peru Monday.
She is then scheduled to perform five shows in Colombia — three in her hometown of Barranquilla — from February 20 through February 27.
Shakira is set to close out the South American leg of the tour on March 8 before she kicks off her Mexico dates on March 12.
The musician took to Instagram on Feb. 12 to express her gratitude for her fans and their response to her tour.
“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! São Paulo, are you ready?” she captioned a slew of photos on Instagram.
