Shakira's anticipated concert in Medellín, scheduled as part of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour, was postponed due to safety concerns at the venue, Estadio Atanasio Girardot. The stage endured damage, specifically to the roof installed by local production, raising substantial safety risks. This comes shortly after Shakira had to cancel a performance in Lima, Peru, due to hospitalization for an abdominal issue. The news was communicated by Shakira and event organizers Páramo Presenta, both emphasizing that the decision was made in the interest of safety for the artist, crew, and audience. Despite the setback, Shakira expressed her sorrow and gratitude to fans via social media, noting her excitement about reconnecting with her audience and sharing that her children, Milan and Sasha, were also eager to explore Medellín and join her on tour.

The singer acknowledged that the situation was beyond her control, expressing hope that a new date would soon be determined, allowing her to bring the promised surprises to her Colombian fans. Páramo Presenta also assured fans that they are collaborating with Shakira's team to organize new concerts, aiming to include more Colombian cities in the upcoming schedules, thus expanding the opportunity for fans to experience her live performances.

As Shakira navigates this challenging phase, her planned upcoming performances in other Latin American countries and anticipation for a North American stretch remain as bright spots on the horizon. This resilience is a testament to her enduring spirit and the strong rapport she shares with her global fanbase. The temporary disappointment is cushioned by the assurance of safety and the promise of a memorable live performance experience.
