Thursday, May 29th was a day of contrasts for Shakira, who not only released the song 'Bésame' in collaboration with Alejandro Sanz, but was also forced to cancel the performance she had scheduled at Fenway Park in Boston.

The news about the cancellation of the concert, which would mark the opening of the Fenway Concert Series, was shared just hours before the performer took the stage to delight her fans with some of the greatest hits she has performed throughout her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour'.

The rest of the statement indicated that those affected can now request their respective refunds, which closes the possibility of them being rescheduled.

“Refunds will be available at their points of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience,” the rest of the text reads.

Although the organizing committee did not go into details, it was revealed that the cancellation of both performances was due to various problems that occurred with the stage during one of the rehearsals, which led the Boston Inspection Services to close the venue for not complying with minimum safety measures.

The cancellation of both performances caused great discomfort among the fans of the interpreter of 'Monotonia', who complained that the cancellation occurred with such short notice.

“This is crazy. My mom flew from Florida to come to the concert,” “Why wait until the day before to cancel? This is a shame for the fans who paid for parking,They took days off work and planned trips,” “This was supposed to be the first concert I took my daughter to… I can’t stop her crying ?,” read some of the messages generated by the cancellation of both performances.
