Shakira canceled one of her upcoming concerts in Lima, Peru, after she was hospitalized for an “abdominal issue.”
The 48-year-old global superstar shared the health update in a statement posted on her X account Sunday, Feb. 16.
“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. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”
She said she was "very sad" that she could not perform for her fans in Peru and had been looking forward to reuniting with them.
Shakira continued, “I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform. My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you.”
She ended her message by thanking her fans for their support and understanding.
The singer was scheduled to perform at Estadio Nacional in Lima Feb. 16 before her medical issue. She has an additional show planned at the same stadium on Feb. 17 before her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour” moves to her home country of Colombia.
Shakira’s hospitalization comes two weeks after fans saw her win the Grammy for best Latin pop album for “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” at the music awards show on Feb. 2.
During her speech, she expressed her gratitude to her “immigrant brothers and sisters in this country” before giving a shoutout to her two sons, Milan and Sasha.
“Milan and Sasha, who are here with me, I’m so proud of you guys, of your kind hearts,” she said while accepting the award. “Thank you so much for supporting me the way you do. I love you.”
The two boys blew a kiss to their mom from the crowd.
Shakira later returned to the stage to perform her hits “Ojos Asi” and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” from her latest album.
After her appearance at the 2025 Grammys, she resumed her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.” She will travel to more countries around South America before playing shows across the U.S. in May and June.
