It is speculated that the singer could pause her tour “Women no longer cry” to be next to her father in Colombia
The Colombian singer Shakira is going through a complicated situation due to the deterioration in the health of her father, William Mebarak Chadid, 93, who is hospitalized in Barranquilla in serious condition. As reported by the journalist Jordi Martin, close to the family environment, Mr. Mebarak suffered a sudden worsening in the last hours, which has generated great concern.
The artist’s father has been dealing with health problems for years, which were exacerbated after a domestic accident in Barcelona in 2022, just when the separation of Shakira and Gerard Piqué was uncovered. At that time, Mebarak suffered a serious fall that required brain surgery and since then has faced multiple complications, including pneumonia in 2024 and a diagnosis of hydrocephalus, which was intervened again.
Although Shakira has not pronounced publicly, it is speculated that he could pause his tour “Women no longer cry” to be next to their father in Colombia. Meanwhile, his followers send messages of support, waiting for a speedy recovery for the family’s patriarch.
Until now, there is no official statement, but nearby sources insist that their condition is “very delicate.” The last time he was seen in public was in December 2024, during a visit to the statue of Shakira on the Malecon of Barranquilla.
