The World Championships in Qatar are just around the corner as the world will stop and watch the opening ceremony of the world’s biggest sporting event on November 20.
The opening ceremony usually features the best artists in the world, whose songs become classics when it comes to the World Cup. For example, the hit “Waka Waka” by Shakira in 2010.
However, the criticism directed at the World Championship in Qatar has caused some artists to reject the opportunity to be at the opening ceremony, writes Marca.
This is the case with Dua Lipa and Rod Stewart, who have rejected this opportunity.
As for Shakira, the Colombian has had her own personal issues to deal with and her presence at the World Championship was criticized on social networks.
However, according to ‘El programa de Ana Rosa’, Shakira will not perform at the ceremony as she changed her mind a few days before the start of the World Cup.
“It has been confirmed to me that Shakira will not perform at the opening ceremony, but they will not say if she will have another role during the World Championship,” said Adriana Dorronsoro in the program.
Sandra Aladro, another associate of the Telecinco program, said she has spoken with the artist’s staff.
“They have confirmed that she will not perform”, said Aladro.
“She was one of the guest artists, now she will have to send a statement to explain everything,” she said.
