Mexican singer Alejandra Guzmán, one of Latin pop-rock’s most enduring stars, saw her concert in Veracruz cut short on Saturday night after she suffered what witnesses described as a hip injury just moments into the show.
Guzmán, often called “La Guzmán” by fans and known for her decades-long career blending rock and pop, was performing at the WTC venue in Boca del Río, a coastal city in the Gulf state of Veracruz, Mexico. According to accounts shared on social media, the singer had barely finished her first song when she jumped during the performance and appeared to injure her hip, forcing an abrupt halt to the concert.
Video footage circulating online, shared by a user named Rodrigo Barranco, shows the moment staff rushed to help Guzmán, who was carried off the stage on a stretcher and taken directly to a nearby hospital for treatment. Details about the exact nature and severity of her injury have not yet been confirmed, nor has the singer or her team issued an official statement addressing what happened.
The daughter of veteran performers Silvia Pinal and Enrique Guzmán, Alejandra Guzmán has built a decades-spanning career as a rock icon across Latin America, making the sudden interruption especially striking for fans who packed the venue expecting a full night of performance.
