LIMA: Pop star Shakira has been hospitalised in Peru with a stomach issue, forcing her to cancel her Sunday show in the Andean country, the singer said on social media.
“I’m sorry to let you all know that last night I had to go to the emergency room for an abdominal issue and I’m currently hospitalised,” Shakira wrote in her post. “The doctors taking care of me have let me know that I’m not well enough to perform tonight.”
The Colombian singer arrived in Lima on Saturday, her first stop to perform there in more than a decade. Videos posted to her account showed hundreds of fans greeting her at the airport. “I hope to be better by tomorrow and that they release me from the hospital as soon as possible to be able to put on the show that I’ve prepared for you all,” Shakira said in her post.
