Peru clinic that leaked Shakira medical record given hefty fine
The 48-year-old four-time Grammy-winning Colombian singer-songwriter was forced to scrap a blockbuster show in Lima in February after being rushed to hospital with an unspecified abdominal ailment. Two days later, she was back on stage in the Peruvian capital. Shortly after her brief hospitalization, her medical report appeared on social media, sparking widespread outrage among fans and an official investigation. The Delgado Auna clinic, where she was treated, said at the time it was investigating what it called a "serious ethical breach of our code of conduct and regulations governing personal data processing."

Shakira concerts give multimillion-dollar boost to Mexico
Shakira fans flocking to see the Colombian star in concert are generating tens of millions of dollars for Mexico, according to the local chamber of commerce, underscoring the economic signicifance of major musical events. Home to around nine million people, Mexico City is a magnet for Latin and other international musicians who attract fans from across the country and abroad. Maria, 32, flew from Honduras to see Shakira perform during her "Women Don't Cry Anymore" world tour at Mexico City's 65,000-capacity GNP Stadium. The online marketing expert spent nearly $1,000 on the flight, hotel and concert ticket. "Direct flights to Mexico City were full so I had several layovers," she told AFP. Devanhi, from Chihuahua in northern Mexico, spent more than $1,000 for five days in the capital, including $400 for the concert and $200 for the plane ticket. "Whenever we can, we make the trip," since global stars skip Chihuahua on their tours, she added. According to the local branch of the National Chamber of Commerce, Shakira's seven concerts in Mexico City this month are expected to generate economic benefits of more than 3.2 billion pesos ($160 million). Nearly half of that will come from the sale of around 455,000 tickets, it estimated. Hotels and other types of accommodation are expected to make $43.9 million, while restaurants and drink vendors will take in around $27 million, Canaco said. The boost is set to eclipse the $50 million estimated to have been generated by US superstar Taylor Swift's four concerts in Mexico City in 2023, according to the organization. jbn-st/dr/jgc

Shakira Cancels Colombia Concert Over Venue Safety Concerns
Shakira has canceled a concert in Colombia, among dozens of dates on her world tour, due to a damaged stage roof that posed safety concerns, event organizers said on Friday. The Colombian singer-songwriter is on her first world tour in seven years, with nearly 50 performances scheduled in Latin America through June, followed by more concerts in the United States and Canada. "During the process of setting up the show scheduled for February 24, the stage roof installed by a local production company suffered damage that put the artist's safety at risk," event organizer Paramo Presenta wrote on social media on Friday. The company added that it hoped to reschedule the concert, which was due to take place at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium in Medellin. The 48-year-old four-time Grammy winner had already been forced to scrap a tour date in Peru after she received treatment in hospital last week for an abdominal condition. Titled "Las mujeres ya no lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), the tour kicked off in Rio de Janeiro this month just a few days after she received a Grammy for best Latin pop album. She returned to her hometown of Barranquilla, where she was welcomed on Thursday by tens of thousands of fans at the Metropolitano stadium. With more than 90 million records sold worldwide, Shakira is one of the most popular Latin artists of all time. She has back-to-back concerts scheduled in Bogota on Wednesday and Thursday, according to her website.

Shakira cancels Peru concert after being admitted to hospital
Colombian pop superstar Shakira has cancelled a show in Lima, Peru, after being admitted to hospital with an abdominal issue. Posting to Instagram on Sunday, the singer said she had been taken to the emergency room and was advised to cancel the concert. 'The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening,' she said. 'I am very sad to not be able to take (to) the stage today. I've been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru,' Shakira said, adding that she hoped to be discharged soon. 'My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you,' she added. In a previous post, Shakira had thanked her Peruvian fans for a warm welcome to the country alongside a series of photos showing the singer greeting crowds of well wishers. The singer recently embarked on a world tour and is set to play shows in various Latin American countries before embarking on a US leg of the tour starting May 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tour is named 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,' or 'Women Don't Cry Anymore.' Shakira is considered one of the most popular Latin American recording artists of the early 21st century. However, she's faced some controversy in recent years. In November 2023, Shakira settled her tax evasion suit with the Spanish authorities. The Grammy-winning singer admitted the charges against her and agreed to pay the amount owed in full and an additional fine, according to a statement released by the Barcelona prosecutor's office at the time. She paid a total of €17.5 million ($19 million), an amount composed of the taxes she owed plus interest, as well as a fine of €7.3 million ($8 million), the statement said.
