Pablo Alborán Cancels Spain Show Due to Severe Pneumonia: ‘I Need Complete Rest for the Next Few Days’

Pablo Alborán has been forced to cancel a show he had scheduled this week in Spain after being diagnosed with “severe pneumonia.” The Spanish pop star shared the news with his fans Thursday (Aug. 20) through his social media.

“I have just been diagnosed with severe pneumonia, and on medical advice, I need complete rest for the next few days,” he wrote in a post on his Instagram account. “We are unfortunately forced to cancel the concert scheduled for tomorrow, August 21, in Ciudad Real. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for filling this very special concert, and I hope we can see each other very soon.”

The singer of hits like “Solamente Tú,” “Saturno” and “Te He Echado de Menos” also urged that “this information be handled with care and calmness, avoiding clickbait, misinterpretations or headlines that could cause unnecessary concern” to his loved ones. “It’s just pneumonia,” he emphasized, “and I’ve already started a round of antibiotics that will have me back to normal in no time.”

Billboard Español reached out to a rep for Alborán, who had no further comment.

Alborán is currently in the middle of his KM 2026 world tour, with his next performance scheduled for Aug. 30 in Baimoro, Spain, at the Festival de la Luz, according to his website. In September, he is set to tour Latin America, starting on the 27th in Costa Rica and including stops in El Salvador, Panama, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

The tour supports his latest album, KM0, a deeply personal 14-track project with four bonus tracks born out of the pain and uncertainty caused by a loved one’s illness, as the artist shared in an interview with Billboard. Released last November, the album was included in Billboard‘s list of the 25 Best Latin Albums of 2025.
