Christian Nodal Cancels More Shows as He Recovers From ‘Strong Stomach Infection’

Christian Nodal is now at home recovering from a “strong stomach infection” that led to his recent hospitalization in Mexico, the singer announced on Thursday night (Oct. 3) in a press release. His shows scheduled for this weekend in Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah, as part of his Pa’l Cora Tour have been postponed.

“Through this statement, we want to deeply thank the expressions of affection, concern, and prayers towards our artist Christian Nodal,” said the statement on the singer’s Instagram stories. “We inform you that he is already home, where he must take a few days of absolute rest, while continuing with the treatment received to eradicate the strong stomach infection, which had him under observation in the emergency room in the past days.”

“As he recovers, we unfortunately must announce that the dates scheduled for this weekend in Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah, will be postponed until November,” it added. “The tour will resume next Monday, October 7, at the palenque in the City of Guadalajara, as part of the Fiestas de Octubre.”

Christian Nodal was recently hospitalized in Mexico, where he was scheduled to perform on Wednesday (Oct. 2) at the Palenque de la Feria de Pachuca; the show was rescheduled for Oct. 14. His publicist, Conchita Oliva, told Billboard on Wednesday that the Mexican star — who had performed a concert last weekend in Los Angeles — began feeling ill upon arriving in Mexico.

Oliva also posted a photo of Nodal in a hospital bed with his eyes closed and a woman’s hand, presumably his wife Ángela Aguilar, caressing his head.

The performer whose hits include “Dime Cómo Quieres” and “Adiós Amor” has more dates scheduled in Mexico and the U.S. throughout the month. On Oct. 20, he is slated to perform at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., followed by a gig at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Oct. 26.
