00:13hotel in Lima, Peru on Monday after cancelling a show the night before.
00:18She announced the cancellation on Sunday in a statement shared to X that read,
00:22I'm sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue
00:27and am currently hospitalized.
00:30The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough
00:34condition to perform this evening.
00:36I'm very sad to not be able to take the stage today.
00:39I've been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru.
00:43I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I'm able to perform.
00:47My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you.
00:52Thank you all for your understanding.
00:54I love you all.
00:55Prior to cancelling the show, Shakira had shared several photos thanking fans for their
00:59warm welcome as she arrived in Peru.
01:02She did perform on Monday night as scheduled and in a post wrote,
01:07What a beautiful Peruvian audience.
01:08So much love and care you've given me.
01:11Eternal thanks.
01:12Peru, you are amazing.
01:14Love you.
01:15The singer is currently on her Las Mujeres Llano Yoran world tour.
01:19She has nearly two dozen more shows in Latin America with her next stop in Colombia.
01:24She is scheduled for shows in the U.S. beginning in May in North Carolina.
01:28Access Hollywood recently caught up with Shakira at the Grammy Awards where she talked about
01:33preparing for her massive tour.
01:35The tour is a big challenge.
01:36This one is a really big, big production, really complex, very elaborate.
01:41I've created even original music for this tour.
01:44It's like a soundtrack.
01:46And tonight you're going to see a little sneak peek of what I'm going to present on the show,
01:50on my tour.
01:51Can you describe how your relationship with music has evolved over the last few months?
01:55Has it taken on new meaning?
01:56Has it been healing?
01:57Yeah, I've really felt how therapeutic my music can be for me, not only for other people
02:04as well, because music, in fact, has that destiny to heal people and to help people
02:12process their own emotions.
02:14But in my case, you know, I've had quite a few challenges in the past couple of years,
02:19personal challenges, and my music was kind of like the glue that put me back together.
02:24I mean, the fact that I was able to write about it and elaborate my thoughts and feelings.
02:29Does your art, your work, your passion take a whole new meaning in that moment?
02:33Sorry, come again?
02:34Does your art, your passion, your work take a new meaning when you realize that this thing
02:38has put you back together?
02:40Yes, absolutely, because I don't know, I felt a sense of gratitude with my career, my music,
02:48the audience, my public, the public has been so, my fans have been so loyal over these
02:54past years.
02:55They have demonstrated a tremendous amount of understanding to me and my career and I
03:03never felt alone, you know, even though the process that I was going through was really
03:07hard.
03:08Personally, I always felt that there was an army of people giving me love and support.
03:13All created by music, your music.
03:16Really special.
03:17And frankly, before you go, this outfit, stunning.
03:21Are you telling a story with this look?
03:26Are you telling a story with this look?
03:28A story?
03:29Yeah.
03:30Let's see.
03:31No, this is Etro, you know, I'm so happy that they're dressing me, they're dressing me right
03:35now for the red carpet and also for my performance tonight.
03:38They did a great job, I'm really, really happy.
03:41Don't break a leg.
03:43Thank you for stopping.
03:44Bye.
03:45Really, an honor.
