American singer-songwriter Marc Anthony postponed a concert during his ongoing Pa’lla Voy tour after he suffered an injury right before he was supposed to perform in Panama. The event organizers informed the attendees that the concert was canceled since the singer sustained his injuries on the stairs mere minutes before performing.

Anthony’s team, in a statement to Billboard, said:

“Marc Anthony had to postpone his concert in Panama last night due to an accident on some stairs when he was preparing to appear on stage.”

They further added:

“The mishap caused complications in his back, which prevented him from performing live. He was transferred to Miami to be treated by his specialists. We thank all the medical personnel in Panama who immediately gathered to offer their care and all the fans who were present for the long-awaited concert.”

Marc Anthony will perform on a new date instead

The show’s organizers also noted that they will soon announce a new concert date. Moreover, concertgoers who already have tickets will not be required to make additional purchases, such as Magic Dream. Previously, Anthony had canceled his concert owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.
