Colombian superstar Shakira reignited her world tour with a spirited performance in Lima, Peru, on Monday after canceling a weekend show due to a severe abdominal condition. The Grammy-winning artist confirmed her comeback via Instagram, announcing her 8:15 p.m. concert at Estadio Nacional would proceed as planned. Her update eased fan concerns following Sunday's abrupt cancellation, which she attributed to a hospitalization for a stomach illness.
Shakira arrived in Peru on Friday, originally scheduled for back-to-back shows. After postponing Sunday’s event, she assured supporters on X (formerly Twitter):
My team is working tirelessly to reschedule. Your safety and my health are my top priorities.The singer’s transparency earned widespread praise online, with fans flooding social media with get-well messages.
The tour began explosively last week with sold-out shows in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Post-Peru, Shakira’s itinerary includes:
- Colombia
- Chile
- Mexico
- Argentina
- 15+ U.S. cities (Orlando, Houston, Detroit, Boston)
This marks her first global tour in nearly a decade, heightening anticipation. Estadio Nacional staff confirmed robust security and medical preparations to prevent further disruptions. Local media reports suggest over 40,000 attendees packed the venue for her Lima return.
Health challenges are rare for Shakira, known for high-energy performances. However, industry experts note rigorous tour schedules often test artists’ endurance. Her team has not disclosed whether additional dates will shift, but insiders confirm logistical flexibility.
As the world tour progresses, all eyes remain on Shakira’s recovery and the rescheduled Peru show. Fans worldwide await updates via her X and Instagram channels.
