"I feel for all of you who planned ahead to come to these shows and who have been so patient as I took the time needed to figure out the best course of action with my doctors," Shakira wrote to fans in a statement.
The Colombian singer, 40, canceled several European shows in November because of strained vocal cords. She said Wednesday she needed more time to recover.
