Why was Shakira’s concert canceled in Boston? – Telemundo New England

Fans are still waiting for the official response why the last -minute concert of the Shakira superstar was canceled at the Boston Fenway Park on Thursday. The Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn show, scheduled for Friday, was also canceled.

A Live Nation statement said: «Due to unforeseen circumstances, the presentations of Shakira, Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn, originally scheduled for May 29 and 30, respectively, in the Fenway Park, have been canceled. Refunds will be offered at the point of purchase. Excuse the inconvenience ».

Fans who came from other cities, states and even from Colombia and Peru, feel a lot of sadness for the cancellation of the concert in Fenway Park.

Until Friday morning, Live Nation had not provided more details about the circumstances. The Boston Globe reported that there was a problem with the stage.

But Mayor Michelle Wu shared on Friday new details about what happened, stating that it was the decision of Live Nation to cancel the shows; The city inspectors only intervene in problems in permanent structures.

“Unfortunately, security is always priority and, in this case, the organizers decided, as a precaution, that security was the first and the show could not move on,” Wu a NBC10 Boston and Telemundo New England told NBC10. “The city always yields to the organizers when they decide that there is a problem.”

He also reiterated how disappointed that people should be when the shows are lost.

“We really wanted to welcome these incredible stars. I know I heard many people willing to encourage Shakira,” said the mayor.

The show on Thursday, part of the “Women’s no longer cry” tour of Shakira, was the first of the Fenway 2025 concert series. The fans were already a line outside when they knew there would be no function.

“Just when we arrived, we asked if this was the row and they told us: ‘He is canceled,” said a fan.
