Concert fiasco continues: Shakira has to cancel yet another performance
- By Philipp Znidar
Santiago de Chile - The series of concert cancellations by Colombian singer Shakira (48) on her tour of Latin America and the USA continues.
In Chile's capital Santiago de Chile, the two planned performances on Sunday and Monday (local time) had to be canceled due to technical problems, according to the organizer.
The floor on which the stage was to stand was not level, it was said. An alternative date was not initially announced.
The Colombian herself not only regretted the incident, but also blamed the production company for the technical negligence:
"When an artist travels to a country, their production and team depend directly on the local producers. My staff and I were confident at all times that the production company hired by the local promoter would follow the specifications we carefully created to the letter so that a show of this magnitude could take place," the singer said in an Instagram story .
The singer's tour keeps coming to a standstill
Shakira ("Hips Don't Lie", "TQG") previously had to cancel a concert in Medellín in her home country because the roof was damaged during stage construction.
Her performance in the Peruvian capital Lima in mid-February was also canceled. The singer was taken to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain .
Shakira is currently touring South and North America with her album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" ("The Women Don't Cry Anymore"), for which she recently won the award for best Latin pop album at the Grammys in Los Angeles. Almost 40 concerts are planned until the end of June.
