Shakira is taking time out of her current tour to focus on her health.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, 48, postponed her Sunday, February 16 show in Lima, Peru, telling her fans in a heartfelt message that she needed to be for a health “issue.”
“I am sorry to inform you that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” she began the statement, which she shared via her Story on Sunday night.

“The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening,” she explained. “I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today. I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans in Peru. I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform.”
added that her team and the tour promoters “are already” working on a rescheduled date for the missed show.
“Thank you all for your understanding. I love you all,” she concluded the message.

Well wishes immediately poured in, prompting the “Whenever, Wherever” artist to thank fans profusely in a follow-up Instagram Story hours later.
“Thank you all for your loving messages,” Shakira wrote. “You give me so much strength!! I love you with all of my heart.”
The four-time Grammy winner had only kicked off her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour five days before she had to postpone Sunday night’s show, performing two nights in Brazil, while her Lima concert was scheduled to be her third of the tour.
Shakira’s next scheduled stop is her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, on Friday, February 21. She’ll then play two more shows in Colombia before moving on to Chile, Argentina and Mexico.
