Shakira postpones Lima concert due to hospitalization

Colombian superstar songstress Shakira was forced to cancel her Sunday show in Lima after her hospitalization for an undisclosed abdominal condition.

“I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,” Shakira wrote in her Instagram stories and on X. “The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.”

She added that she was already working on a new date with the concert’s promotors, and hoped to be “released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform.”

Barely two weeks ago the singer performed at the Grammys for the first time in 18 years, belting out a belly dance-infused medley of her 1998 classic “Ojos Así” coupled with her newest hit, “BZRP Music Session #53,” from her current album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” It was also her 48th birthday.

Just before that, Shakira had lit up the stage in accepting the award for Best Latin Pop album from Jennifer Lopez, using the moment to declare support for all immigrants in the face of mass deportations being ordered by President Trump.

Sunday’s concert in Lima marked the second stop of her Latin American tour to support her album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” after two concerts in Brazil last week. The singer arrived Friday evening in Peru, where she was scheduled to perform Sunday and Monday; two dates in Brazil last week kicked off her Latin American tour, also titled “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.”

Enthusiastic crowds have greeted her wherever she went, and Peru was no exception. “Thank you for such an emotional welcome, Lima!” Shakira posted on Instagram on Saturday.

On Sunday, her tune changed a bit.

“I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today,” Shakira concluded in a social media statement. “I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru.”

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
