However, the Colombian superstar remains hopeful that she will recover soon. “I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform. My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you,” she added.

“Thank you all for your understanding. I love you all,” she concluded, signing off with “Shak.”

Shakira is currently on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which began on Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
