Shakira: I was depressed because of vocal cord problems
The famous Shakira had serious problems with the vocal cords four years ago, and only now has she talked about the difficult period.
Serious problems with the vocal cords, she says, led her to depression. For a while, she couldn't even speak, so she communicated with her children and partner Gerard Pique with the help of gestures.
"I never thought that, of all things, my voice, which is so ingrained in my nature, would leave me. It is my identity, and the possibility of never singing again was unbearable," Shakira told The Guardian.
She also revealed how she felt when she was depressed.
"It was very difficult to be near me. My husband lived through it worse than me. Some days I couldn’t even get out of bed because I let depression overwhelm me. The children could not watch me because they did not know what was happening to me," she said.
Doctors advised her to go for vocal cord surgery, but her voice returned before she went under the knife. Due to problems with the vocal cords, she had to postpone the El Dorado tour for 2018, when she fully recovered.
