Shakira's Tour Woes: Second Concert Canceled Amid Stage Issues
Pop sensation Shakira speaks out after her Washington concert cancellation due to production complications linked to her Boston show.
Shakira has officially canceled her upcoming performance in Washington D.C. after facing "complications" with the staging from her recent show in Boston, which also ended up being called off. Set to perform on Saturday as part of WorldPride, a significant LGBTQ+ festival, the singer expressed her devastation about the situation.
The announcement came from Nationals Park, the venue for the Washington concert, explaining that "complications with the previous show in Boston" impacted the ability to transport Shakira's full tour production in time. "This time, the shows just were not possible," she stated, emphasizing her disappointment in disappointing her fans.
Shakira, 48, expressed her eagerness to perform and connect with her audience, stating, "I have been counting the days to reunite with my fans in both Washington and Boston." The full tour production was deemed insufficient for transport, leading to the cancellation, and the Nationals Park promised automatic refunds for ticket holders.
The Boston show initially scheduled for May 29 was also called off due to safety concerns with the stage. Entertainment provider Live Nation confirmed that some "structural elements" were found to be below standard during a pre-show inspection.
The reaction from fans on social media has been mixed. Many expressed their frustration, with some having traveled considerable distances to attend the concerts, while others offered heartfelt support for Shakira, stating she did not deserve the misfortune.
Shakira is currently in the midst of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, supporting her twelfth studio album, with her next show set for Atlanta on June 2. The pop star's journey continues as she navigates these setbacks while her supporters stand by her side.
