Shakira Back On Track: Colombian Superstar to Perform in Lima After Illness Scare

Colombian superstar Shakira announced Monday that she will resume her world tour and perform in Lima, Peru, Monday evening, following a brief health scare that forced the cancellation of a weekend concert, The Associated Press reports.

The four-time Grammy winner took to her Instagram account to share the news, confirming that her concert at Lima’s Estadio Nacional soccer stadium will commence at 8:15 p.m. local time.

Shakira, who arrived in Peru on Friday evening, had been scheduled to perform on both Sunday and Monday. However, she cancelled Sunday’s show, informing fans on X that she had been hospitalized due to an abdominal condition.

Despite the setback, Shakira reassured her fans that she is ready to get back on stage.

“I’m so excited to be back in Lima and to share my music with you all,” she wrote in her post.

The singer kicked off her highly anticipated world tour last week with performances in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Following her performance in Peru, Shakira’s tour will continue with scheduled dates across South America, including Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, before heading to Mexico and then more than a dozen cities in the United States. US stops include Orlando, Florida; Houston; Detroit; Boston; New York, and San Francisco.

Shakira also addressed the cancelled Sunday show on X, stating that her team is working diligently to secure a new date for the performance.
