Shakira Says Her Vocal Cord Injury Turned Her into a "Depressed" and "Bitter" Person


In 2017, Shakira shocked everyone when she had to postpone her El Dorado World Tour due to a vocal hemorrhage. What the world saw during that time was only a fraction of the real life turmoil the singer was going through behind the scenes. In a new interview, the mom of two is opening up about what she went through and her journey back to super-stardom. "I always thought there were going to be things in my life that would go away, like beauty, youth, all of that stuff. But I never thought that my voice would leave me, because it's so inherent to my nature. It was my identity. So, when I couldn't sing, that was unbearable. I was so depressed.” Although things looked grim and she was told she needed to have surgery, the queen of pop stayed strong and instead let her vocal cords heal on their own. Something most people would call a miracle, and Shakira would call faith. Fans will get a first-hand look at the experience when a film about her El Dorado Tour hits the theaters.
