Shakira, the Latin-pop star in a recent interview has told of her experience of depression associated with vocal cord hemorrhage in 2017, before the El Dorado tour. The 42-year-old has told her story with great courage, wanting to be an example not only to her children, but to remind us all to take nothing for granted.
“I thought many things in my life would gradually abandon me, beauty, youth, but I never thought that my voice could do that, as it is so rooted in my nature. It’s an identity. Not getting to sing was unbearable. ”
She exaggerated these bad moments by not speaking and gesturing, and her children could not understand. Then added:
“I couldn’t be positive, on the contrary, I was very pessimistic. It was very difficult to be near me and my husband Gerard Piqué has experienced it worse than me. Some days I couldn’t even get up because I was depressed.
Things were also made worse by the fact that the El Dorado Tour had to be postponed. Doctors had advised the 42-year-old to undergo vocal cord surgery. She has always refused to experiment with alternative methods such as hypnosis, meditation, and even the blessed water of Lourdes. He never gave up and eventually his voice returned without any operation. The singer has called it a divine intervention.
Luckily she recovered and her mug was held in 2018. For her it was a kind of religious experience. She wanted to make this moment public:
“I take care of my children to learn from the obstacles, difficulties that my father and I encountered. They weren’t born when I lived in Colombia, when all the doors slammed in my face. These are stories I want to tell because life is not always simple and not everything goes as planned, ”Shakira said, confirming that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Dark times can have everyone, but with determination, courage and confidence, everyone can succeed.
After a depressing year, Shakira succeeded, and the El Dorado World Tour is set in the form of a documentary to be released this month. On February 2 of the coming year, on her 43rd birthday, she will be performing with Pop queen Jennifer Lopez.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing them together because strong women like them are a source of inspiration.
