A fatal on-site accident has cast a shadow over preparations for Shakira's "Todo Mundo no Rio" concert in Brazil. On Sunday, April 26, 2026, a professional working on stage structures tragically died after a serious incident. Organizers confirmed the event in a statement, detailing that initial care was provided before the worker was transported to the hospital, where they ultimately succumbed to their injuries.
The state fire brigade reported that the worker suffered severe crushing injuries to his lower limbs involving a lifting system. Emergency services initiated pre-hospital care at the scene before transferring the individual to Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital, but sadly, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. The organizers have pledged full support to the victim's family and the company responsible for the crew.
In unrelated news, Shakira's previously scheduled India tour dates in April 2026 have been postponed. Organizers cited "geopolitical developments and regional tensions" as the reason for delaying her performances in Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
