Shakira thanked her fans Sunday for the flood of “loving messages” she received following a Saturday hospitalization that caused her to postpone a show.
“Thank you all for your loving messages,” she wrote Sunday night. “You give me so much strength!! I love you with all my heart.” Advertisement
Earlier Sunday, she reported that an “abdominal issue” caused her to head to the emergency room Saturday.
“The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening,” she said on X.
Gracias a todos por sus mensajes de cariño. Me dan tanta fuerza!! Los quiero con el alma.

She noted that she hoped to be released Monday, and that she would perform the canceled show at a later date.
