Pop star Shakira has been taken to hospital in Peru after experiencing “an abdominal issue”, forcing her to cancel one of her concerts.<\/p>\n

The Hips Don’t Lie singer had been due to perform in Lima for the first time in over a decade.<\/p>\n

“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 hospitalized,” Shakira wrote in a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“The doctors taking care of me have let me know that I’m not well enough to perform tonight.”<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Colombian singer posted videos showing hundreds of fans greeting her at the airport as she arrived in Peru.<\/p>\n

“I am very sad that I will not be able to take the stage today,” she wrote in her post. “I have been deeply emotional and excited about reuniting with my beloved Peruvian audience.”<\/p>\n

“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,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Shakira has been a trailblazer for Latin artists crossing over into the English-speaking market although she faced controversy in recent years.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the singer settled a tax fraud case with the Spanish authorities where she eventually ended up paying a \u20ac7.5m (\u00a36.5m) fine and accusing tax authorities of draining her “energy, time, and tranquillity”.<\/p>\n

The singer’s next show in Lima is booked for Monday after starting her tour in Brazil last week. Her tour is in support of her Grammy-winning album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, centred around her highly-publicised split from Spanish footballer Gerard Piqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Shakira took home her fourth Grammy for the album after winning Latin Pop Album earlier this month.<\/p>\n

From Lima, she heads to her home country of Colombia before touring until the end of June.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
