Losing  voice was darkest moment of my life – Shakira

 

Barcelona-based Colombian superstar Shakira has said temporarily
losing her voice two years ago was “the darkest moment” of her life,
and which affected her “deeply”.
In November 2017 the three-time Grammy winner was forced to postpone
her hip-shaking “El Dorado World Tour” for seven months after
suffering a hemorrhage on her right vocal cord.
“It affected me deeply, there is a before and after,” the 42-year-old
said during an interview in Barcelona where she lives with Spanish
footballer Gerard Pique and their two young sons.
“You take many things for granted when you have them… In the case of
my voice, it is something that is so inherent in my nature, it is my
identity,” she added in the interview at a Barcelona hotel.
“I always thought that one day I would lose many things, one day you
lose your youth, you lose your beauty, you even lose friends, there
are people who come and go… but I never thought my voice was
something that could disappear.
“When that doubt arose, when I did not know if I could sing again, it
was the darkest moment of my life,” she added.
In what she describes as “a miracle”, Shakira recovered her voice
naturally, without needing to undergo surgery as recommended by
doctors and was finally able to carry out her tour in 2018.
A documentary about the tour, which encompassed over two decades of
hits and was based on two shows she gave in Los Angeles, will open in
around 60 countries from November 13th.
“It is one of the most important tours of my life for what it means,
for the different obstacles that I had to overcome,” Shakira said.
