Shakira Thanks Fans for Support After Hospitalization
Shakira has expressed her gratitude to fans for the outpouring of support she received after revealing her hospitalization.

"Thank you all for your loving messages," she posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday night. "You give me so much strength!! I love you with all my heart." The message came after the singer announced earlier that day that she had been taken to the ER on Saturday night due to abdominal issues, forcing her to cancel her scheduled concert in Lima, Peru.
In a statement shared on Instagram Stories, the "Hips Don't Lie" songstress, 48, explained the situation. "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," she wrote. "The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening." She expressed her disappointment at having to cancel the show, saying, "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."
Shakira remained hopeful about a quick recovery. "I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I'm able to perform," she continued in her statement. "My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you." She concluded her message with a heartfelt thank you to her fans for their understanding, signing off with "Shak."
The hospitalization comes as Shakira is in the midst of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which kicked off just this week on Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This tour marks her first in seven years and shares its name with her 12th studio album, released in March 2024. The tour schedule includes upcoming concerts in Columbia on February 20, followed by stops in Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The final concert is currently scheduled for June 30 in San Francisco.
Earlier this month, Shakira attended the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran won Best Latin Pop Album. She was accompanied by her sons, Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué. The couple separated in June 2022. During her acceptance speech, Shakira delivered a powerful message, dedicating the award to "all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country. You are loved. You are worth it. I will always fight with you." She also referenced her 2009 hit "She Wolf," acknowledging women who work hard to provide for their families. Shakira then gave a sweet shout-out to her sons, expressing her pride and love for them.
In a March 2023 interview with AP News, Shakira discussed her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, providing insight into its themes and creation. She described the album as a collection of "many different life experiences" and a representation of "the transformation of vulnerability into resilience, the empowerment of finding your strength." She emphasized that the album goes beyond simply addressing pain, but also celebrates triumph. "And that's why these tears are not tears made of resentment anger or just sadness, but tears of triumph and tears of self-recognition and finding confidence within," she explained.
Shakira further described the album's emotional journey as "not linear," acknowledging the "ups and downs and valleys and peaks" of life. She also highlighted the album's musical diversity, mentioning influences of pop, Afrobeat, reggaeton, Mexican regional music, and rock. However, she emphasized the "common thread" that connects all the tracks: "genuine, authentic life experiences and the process of elaborating those intense emotions and feelings that I've been having to deal with during this past couple of years." This personal and emotional depth has clearly resonated with her fans, who are now sending their love and support during her health challenge.
