Shakira postponed her concert in Lima, Peru, due to an abdominal issue that led to hospitalization. She expressed regret over missing her performance but remains hopeful for her upcoming shows. Currently on a world tour supporting her new album, Shakira has adjusted her U.S. tour schedule to accommodate demand and has promised extended concerts.
Shakira was compelled to postpone her concert in Lima, Peru, scheduled for February 16, due to an unexpected abdominal issue that resulted in her hospitalization. On her social media, she explained, “I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized. The doctors have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”
The Colombian singer expressed her disappointment about missing the concert, stating, “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.” While her first concert was postponed, her second performance scheduled for the following day still remains uncertain.
Shakira is currently on her world tour promoting her first album in seven years, titled “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which was released last March. She had previously adjusted the U.S. leg of the tour to 2025 to manage extensive demand for tickets and performances. The remaining Latin American shows are set to lead into her U.S. tour starting May 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and concluding on June 30 in San Francisco.
During a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Shakira revealed her upcoming concerts would be the longest of her career, intending to perform for over two hours each time. According to setlist.fm, she has followed through on this commitment in her recent shows. Shakira acknowledged the complexity of preparing a concert, stating, “Preparing a show is one of the most intricate, complex things I can do as an artist.”
Shakira’s recent health issues necessitated the postponement of her concert in Peru, although plans for her upcoming performances continue. Her ongoing tour supports her long-awaited album and has seen demand prompt scheduling changes. As she navigates through this challenging time, fans await further updates on her recovery and rescheduled concert dates.
