Shakira has canceled tonight’s show in Lima, Peru after being hospitalized due to an abdominal condition.
“I regret to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER due to an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” Shakira wrote on her Instagram Story in Spanish alongside an English translation. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in the condition to put on a concert tonight.”
She continued, “I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today. I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my beloved Peruvian fans. I hope to be better tomorrow, and that I’ll be discharged as soon as possible to be able to give the performance that I have prepared for all of you.”
