Officials with the BB&T Center, say the singer needs to spend the next few months recovering for her vocal cords to be "in optimal condition for touring" prompting them to postpone parts of her U.S. tour.

The center released a statement saying in part,

"Though it has been a difficult time for Shakira, she is on her way towards recovering her voice fully.....While disappointed to not be able to be to perform in January as scheduled, Shakira is happy to be able to get back on the road by summer with her best show yet, and remains incredibly grateful for all the loyalty, patience and support her fans have shown her."
