Shakira Hospitalized for Abdominal Issue, Postpones Peru Concert

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.
