Colombian superstar Shakira has been compelled to cancel her highly anticipated concert in Lima after being rushed to the hospital for severe abdominal pain. Having arrived in Peru's capital on Friday with plans to perform two shows at the Estadio Nacional, she took to social media to inform her fans that doctors have advised her to get complete rest. 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. Despite the uproar among her fans due to the concert's cancellation, Shakira reassured everyone that her team and promoter are actively working on setting a new date. "I plan to perform this show as soon as possible," the artist stated, expressing her sadness over the cancellation while also showing gratitude for the support from her fans.

Shakira's return to Lima, after a 14-year hiatus, had stirred immense excitement. From the moment she landed, she was greeted with cheers and applause by hundreds of fans at the airport and outside her hotel. Everything indicated a successful event, but concerns mounted as rumors about her health spread. Ultimately, Shakira herself confirmed via social media that she would not be able to perform.

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. For now, fans will have to wait for updates on the rescheduling of her Lima performance. Get well soon, Shakira!
