Shakira, 48, has unfortunately had to cancel her scheduled concert in Peru due to an “abdominal issue” that led to her hospitalization. On February 16, 2025, the singer shared an emotional message on Instagram Stories, revealing that she had been admitted to the hospital the night before after experiencing discomfort.
“I am so sorry to inform you all that I had to go to the ER last night and am currently hospitalized,” Shakira wrote in all caps. She further explained that, following medical advice, she was unable to perform her show at the National Stadium of Peru that evening, one of two back-to-back shows in Lima.
“I am heartbroken to not be able to perform today,” she added, emphasizing how excited she was to reconnect with her fans. Despite this setback, Shakira expressed hope that she would be well enough to perform at her second Lima show on February 17, 2025.
For fans impacted by the cancellation, Shakira assured them that her team and the promoters were already working on rescheduling the event. She concluded the post with her signature warmth: “Thank you for your understanding, I love you all.”
The hospitalization comes just days after Shakira kicked off her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour in Rio de Janeiro on February 11, 2025. The tour follows her Grammy win on February 2, where she took home the Best Latin Pop Album award for the album, marking her first win in seven years.
