Chiquis, who is on the road in support of her new album, suffered a miscarriage while getting ready for her concert Saturday (June 1).

Although she’d not yet shared the news of her pregnancy, the singer told fans in an Instagram update on Sunday that the miscarriage was the reason she had to postpone her concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the Revel Entertainment Center Saturday night.

It would have been just the second date of her Diamantes Tour, following opening night in El Cajon, California, on May 30.

“To my fans in Albuquerque,” she wrote in an emotional note posted in both English and Spanish, “With a heavy heart, I wanted to let you know that my concert postponement last night happened because of a medical emergency that made it impossible for me to take the stage, physically as well as emotionally.”

“While I was at the venue getting ready for the show I suffered a miscarriage. I had not announced my pregnancy as it was in an early stage,” Chiquis said.

With her fans in mind, she added, “I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I promise to make the date up to you as soon as possible and your tickets will be honored. Your understanding means the world to me. My doctor has said I will be able to continue with the tour for my next dates in Texas, June 7th, 8th and 9th.”

The Latin-Grammy winning artist, who won best banda album for both Playlist (2020) and Abeja Reina (2022), has described her tour  as “a celebration of empowerment, self-expression and unity” and said she’ll create an “inclusive and uplifting atmosphere where fans can come together, connect and bask in the joy of live music.” Her return to the stage will be in Texas, with concerts in Hidalgo, Houston and Irving. After a summer run and a fall break, Chiquis is set to wrap the Diamantes Tour in early December. See her full list of tour dates on her official website.
