Fans heading to the Forum for Wednesday night's Shakira concert should turn around. The show has been canceled.

The Colombian singer-dancer posted a message on social media saying she has come down with a virus that forced her to cancel the Wednesday night show, which has been rescheduled for Monday night.

Shakira opened her two-night Los Angeles-area engagement Tuesday.

"Los Angeles, thank you so much for one of the most unforgettable nights of the tour last night," she wrote. "You guys were such an unbelievable crowd. I was so excited to sing and dance with you again tonight.

"However, after the show I started to feel unwell and I woke up this morning with a virus that has knocked me off my feet. I'm sorry that I am unable to perform tonight.
