Shakira has cancelled yet another tour, sending fans into a flurry of anger. This is the third concert that the singer has had to cancel in the recent months, concerning fans. Originally, she was set to perform at the Nationals Park in Washington D.C. on Saturday; however, according to a recent announcement by the venue holder, Shakira has stepped back yet again.
Shakira cancels another concert in Washington
The singer had already cancelled two shows without much notice last week in Boston. She was set to perform at Fenway Park in Boston last week; however, due to defective structural elements found during pre-checks of the show, both of the concerts were completely cancelled.
As per TMZ, Shakira was supposed to take the stage to perform at the WorldPride event, which will also see Jennifer Lopez as the headlining artist; however, she will no longer be seen on stage. In a statement issued by National Parks announcing the cancellation, they shared that “Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C., in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31. As a result, the D.C. show has been cancelled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned.”

Amid worries of whether the Boston shows will be rescheduled or not, this cancellation has come forth as another bombshell for fans. The artist herself issued a statement, according to the same report, saying, “I have been counting the days, excited to be reunited with my fans in both Washington and Boston, and my team and I have made every effort to make it happen, but it doesn’t depend on any one of us right now, and I am devastated that these shows were just not possible this time. I promise that I will do everything in my power to be with you as soon as I can.”
