Shakira cancels event due to vocal strain
Los Angeles, Nov 8 (IBNS): International singing star Shakira on Wednesday announced she has cancelled first show of her upcoming El Dorado world tour as she is suffering from vocal strain.
The roadshow was reportedly scheduled to kick start from Wednesday in Germany.
"During these last few days of rehearsals, I have unfortunately strained my vocal cords and as a result, my doctors have ordered me to go on vocal rest to avoid any greater damage that could keep me from performing. I'm devastated to have to miss our first show on November 8th in Koln. I love my German fans so much and was really looking forward to sharing my first show with you. As much as it pains me, I know I need to heed the advice of my doctors and recover so I can give you all everything I've got once I’m on the road and not risk any further injury," Shakira said in a message posted on her website.
"The Live Nation team is working hard to find a new date for me to come back and share this exciting show with you which I feel is going to be my best one yet. I am focusing on recovering now to be able to kick off on November 10th in Paris, as soon as I get the green light from my doctors. Thanks as always from the bottom of my heart for all the support and love you've shown me heading into this tour. I hope to make it worth the wait and see you all very soon!," she said.
