Shakira makes concert comeback as she launches rescheduled tour

Shakira is celebrating her big return to the stage after vocal issues forced her to postpone her world tour by seven months.

The Hips Don’t Lie superstar initially had to delay the start of her El Dorado World Tour in Cologne, Germany in November (17) as she struggled with “strained vocal cords”, but the health issue soon worsened as she suffered a vocal haemorrhage, prompting her to push back the entire European leg.

The Colombian beauty also had to reschedule her North American shows, which had been due to kick off in January (18), but on Sunday (03Jun18), Shakira was back in the spotlight as she launched her trek in Hamburg, Germany.

The gig went off without a hitch, and the singer took to Instagram moments after stepping offstage to thank fans for their huge show of support.

“Wow, I did it…!” beamed an out-of-breath Shakira in video footage posted online. “Hamburg, I love you…!”

“We did it!!!!,” she captioned the clip. “It felt like performing for the first time!!!”
The musician has since shared a series of photos from her comeback performance, dubbing the tour kick off “one of the best times” of her life.

She also promised to deliver “a big party every night” for her fans on tour, adding, “There’s nothing like seeing you so happy!!!”

The El Dorado World Tour will continue in Cologne on Tuesday (05Jun18) and keep her on the road until November (18), when she will conclude the trek with a homecoming show in her native Colombia.
Shakira’s busy schedule means she will have little time to support her soccer star boyfriend, Gerard Pique, as he plays for Spain’s national team in the World Cup, which begins in Russia on 14 June (18).

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Dhadak review: There is no ‘dhak dhak’ in this Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter starrer

Dhadak movie cast: Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Kharaj Mukherjee, Aditya Kumar Dhadak movie director: Shashank Khaitan Dhadak movie rating: One and a half stars Remaking Sairat for mainstream Bollywood was always going to be a tough ask. The edges of that searing 2016 tale of love-in-the-time-of-caste were necessarily going to have to be blunted and softened, because too much ‘realism’ is hard for us to handle. There isn’t a filmmaker working in India who can match Sairat director Nagraj Manjule’s appetite for recreating raw slap-in-the-face directness for the screen: the only one who can match him is Sanal Sashidharan, and neither of them work, for obvious reasons, in Bollywood, where dirt needs to be proffered up in pretty ribbons. What I was expecting from this Karan Johar production, I got– a polish-up-the-muck aesthetic to make it palatable for mainstream audiences. What I didn’t get, was feeling. That sense of playfulness ...
