This unexpected announcement came as a shock to her followers, who are now hoping for a rescheduled date to see her live.
The health issue arose early Sunday morning when the Barranquilla native was admitted to a clinic in Lima. Local media suggest that she might be experiencing a bout of gastritis.

Fortunately, the singer has been discharged from the hospital. However, it remains uncertain if she will be able to hold her second scheduled concert in Lima, making her recovery crucial for continuing with her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which is set to continue in Colombia.
