Just two months ago, legendary singer Rubby Pérez and at least 221 more people passed away at his show due to a stage collapse. The tragic incident was a reminder that safety should always be the main priority when it comes to concerts. Over the weekend, Ángela Aguilar canceled her show in Colombia, making sure her team and fans came first.
Ángela was scheduled to perform in Neiva, Colombia, on June 29th, but had to cancel at the last minute due to a stage malfunction that put her team’s safety at risk. She took to her Instagram story to explain in Spanish, "Neiva, it hurts so much not to be able to sing for you tonight. I was really excited to visit your beautiful land. Our whole team, musicians, dancers, everyone, was already there, ready to give you our best. But the incident with the stage structure makes it impossible for us to go on.”
She apologized to her Colombian audience but made it clear: safety comes before anything. “The most important thing to me is your safety and well-being, and that of my team too. I’m left wanting to drink your aguardiente, sing with you, and feel your warmth. Thank you for your love and for waiting for me with such affection.”
The cancellation comes after Ángela’s special moment, watching her dad, Pepe Aguilar, and her husband, Christian Nodal, perform together for the first time in Querétaro. Pepe joined Nodal on stage in Mexico for a surprise performance of "Por mujeres como tú."
She shared a photo on her IG story, writing in Spanish, "my men" with crying emojis.
Angela's candid admissions
As Ángela continues to promote her new album Nadie Se Va Cómo Llegó, the young woman has been incredibly open about her personal life - including how she protects her mental health amid all the media attention that’s come with her relationship with Nodal.
In a recent CNN interview, she said, “I’m not here to change anyone’s perspective of me - I’m here to follow my dreams. And part of that means being honest and opening up. I wouldn’t be who I am without the people around me - my team, my parents, my husband, my family. I don’t even know how to put into words how grateful I am for how they’ve lifted me up during the hardest moments.”
As for how she stays grounded? She says it’s all about going back to her roots. “When you get into this industry, you come in for the music, but it can quickly become something else. I had to go back to Zacatecas, to riding horses, to my dogs, to being with my husband and family, cooking, and going to therapy. Getting back to real life is what helped me most.”
