Shakira kicked off her highly-anticipated Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on February 11th. However, just a few days later, she was forced to cancel one of her shows in Lima, Peru due to being hospitalized with an “abdominal issue.”
The 48-year-old Grammy winner was due to perform in Lima for the first time in over ten years a few nights ago, but was forced to cancel after experiencing “an abdominal issue.” The Colombian singer let her fans know on Sunday, February 16th that she wasn’t able to perform later that night due to her hospitalization, but informed them that she was hoping to make the second night’s performance in Peru the following day.
And she did indeed stick to her word, as her Monday, February 17th show went ahead as scheduled.
