I Gotta Cancel Another Concert!! !

So much for whenever, wherever … Shakira is scrapping her third concert in as many nights … and she says she’s devastated.
Shakira was supposed to perform Saturday night at Nationals Park in Washington D.C., but the ballpark announced Friday that Shakira would no longer be taking the stage.
The “Whenever, Wherever” singer also had two shows in Boston abruptly canceled earlier this week — she was supposed to perform at Fenway Park on Thursday and Friday — and as we first reported, city inspectors canceled the shows after a routine pre-show check of the staging identified structural elements that were not up to standard.
Sounds like the issues in Boston are causing a domino effect in Washington D.C., where Shakira was supposed to perform as part of the welcome festivities for WorldPride, the largest LGBTQ+ festival in the world.
Nationals Park says … “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. The D.C. concert has been cancelled due to the problems with Boston’s previous show. It is not possible for the show to go ahead as planned despite all efforts. “
Shakira said… “I’ve been counting down the days to see my fans again in Washington and Boston. My team and I made every effort to get it done, but right now it is not up to us. I am so disappointed that these shows weren’t possible. I promise to do all I can to be there as soon as possible. “
No news yet as to whether or not the shows in Boston and D.C. will be rescheduled
