Since the messy breakup, 2017 was seemingly an extremely rough year for Shakira. The Colombian singer had to postpone her ever-famous El Dorado world tour after suffering from a vocal cord hemorrhage in her right vocal cord. Several years later, she opened up about her major injury. She described that experience as “unbearable”.
She told the Guardian, “It was my identity. So, when I couldn’t sing, that was unbearable. There were times I couldn’t even get out of bed. I was so depressed”. Her children, Milan and Sasha, were too young to read and write. She had to communicate with them through sign language. Shakira continued, “I was not positive. I was so pessimistic. I was a bitter person to be around”.
