Colombian singer Shakira was forced to cancel a scheduled concert in Lima, Peru, after being hospitalized due to an “abdominal issue.”
“I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” the Grammy Award winner said.
“The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening. I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today. I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru,” she added.

ADVERTISEMENTShakira’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The “Wherever, Whenever” singer embarked on her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour on Feb. 11. The Lima stop would have been only her third show on the tour.
Earlier this month, Shakira took home the Grammy award for best Latin pop album for “Las Mujeres Ya No LLoran.”
She faced a big win in her tax battle last year when Spanish prosecutors recommended a second investigation into the singer’s finances be thrown out days after she attended her first Met Gala in May.
