Why Was Shakira’s Concert Canceled in Lima?
Shakira’s management on February 14 announced that she had got hospitalized after falling victim to an abdominal illness that had immediate care needed. Though they weren’t very clear on her health issues earlier on, sources confirmed that she had sharp abdominal discomfort afterwards.
Not much after that, Shakira herself went on social media to apologize on missing her concert:
> “My dear fans of Lima, regret that I will not arrive at your concert as originally arranged. Been advised by my physicians to rest owing to a sudden health situation. Promise to make it up to you very soon. You have my gratitude and sympathy.”
It actually happened to her fans, especially considering that it had been her first concert in Lima after ages. But most of all, people were only caring about her health.

How Is Shakira Doing Right Now?
Thankfully, the good news is that Shakira had been discharged from hospital after her care.
The doctors confirmed that she had had an abdominal infection—not life-threatening but acute enough that she had needed to rest.
She went on to reassure fans that she had started to improve, although she will have to rest up first of all before taking up stage duties.
The next concert, on February 20 in Santiago, Chile, is on track, but her management is keeping her recovery very much on its watch to ensure that she is up to it.
How Did Supporters React?
Of course, people were let down—after all, the concert had sold out, and fans had traveled far and wide around Peru, and indeed outside of it, to view her live. But far from frustration, there were outpourings of sympathy on social media.
Hashtags of #WeLoveYouShakira and #GetWellSoonShakira trended on social media, showing how much her fans care.
One fan tweeted:
“Health is most important! Conferences can wait, but Shakira has to rest up. We’ll wait patiently when she is better.”
Some fans went out to wait outside of where she had been receiving care, leaving behind well-wishes and flowers. If anything, this experience served to prove that Shakira boasts one of the most committed fan bases out there.

What Does It All Look Like Afterwards?
Now that Shakira is on her road to recovery, her management is busy rearranging the concert that had been booked to take place in Lima.
No date is announced yet, but fans can expect to know what is happening once she is good to go.
For now, here is what is happening:
The concert is to be rearranged – No date announced yet, but it’s on its way
The tour will roll on schedule indeed – The next is on February 20 in Santiago, Chile, unless her health dictates otherwise.
Shakira is minding her health – She’s healing well, taking her sweet time, and fans are behind her 100%.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, much as we wanted to have seen Shakira on stage in Lima, her health is of greater importance. Touring is physically strenuous, and performers give everything to give great performances. It’s physically strenuous, and there are times that they have to press pause.
The good news? She’s on her road to recovery, and once good to go, she’ll make up to her Peruvian fans with night to remember.
So, let’s give her good vibes only and hope that she’s on stage very, very soon
