Shakira resumes world tour after Lima hospital stay

Colombian pop singer, Shakira said her concert in Peru on Monday will go ahead a day after she called off another performance because of a sudden hospitalisation.

The 48-year-old singer-songwriter had gone to the emergency room on Saturday night and was briefly admitted to hospital, prompting her to call off a show Sunday.

In a post via Instagram on Monday, the singer said that the gates to the National Stadium in Lima will open at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) for a concert due to kick off at 8:15 pm.

The post made no reference to her health.

Events company, Masterlive confirmed Monday’s scheduled show will go ahead, stressing that it would announce a new date soon for the concert that had to be scrapped Sunday.

It was gathered that Shakira is on her first world tour in seven years.

Named “Las mujeres ya no lloran” (Women Don’t Cry Anymore), it kicked off in Rio de Janeiro just a few days after she received a Grammy for best Latin pop album.

She dedicated the award to migrants in the United States facing deportation under President Donald Trump.

With more than 90 million records sold worldwide and four Grammy Awards under her belt, among many other prizes, Shakira is one of the most popular Latin artists of all time.

She is set to perform nearly 50 dates in Latin America by the end of June, followed by more concerts in the United States and Canada.
