Chiquis, who is on the road in support of her new album, suffered a miscarriage while getting ready for her concert Saturday (June 1).
Although she’d not yet shared the news of her pregnancy, the Mexican singer told fans in an Instagram update on Sunday that the miscarriage was the reason she had to postpone her concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the Revel Entertainment Center Saturday night.
It would have been just the second date of her Diamantes Tour, following opening night in El Cajon, California, on May 30.
“To my fans in Albuquerque,” she wrote in an emotional note posted in both English and Spanish, “With a heavy heart, I wanted to let you know that my concert postponement last night happened because of a medical emergency that made it impossible for me to take the stage, physically as well as emotionally.”

“While I was at the venue getting ready for the show I suffered a miscarriage. I had not announced my pregnancy as it was in an early stage,” Chiquis said.
With her fans in mind, she added, “I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I promise to make the date up to you as soon as possible and your tickets will be honored. Your understanding means the world to me. My doctor has said I will be able to continue with the tour for my next dates in Texas, June 7th, 8th and 9th.”
The Latin-Grammy winning artist, who won best banda album for both Playlist (2020) and Abeja Reina (2022), has described her tour as “a celebration of empowerment, self-expression and unity” and said she’ll create an “inclusive and uplifting atmosphere where fans can come together, connect and bask in the joy of live music.” Her return to the stage will be in Texas, with concerts in Hidalgo, Houston and Irving. After a summer run and a fall break, Chiquis is set to wrap the Diamantes Tour in early December. See her full list of tour dates on her official website.

More moisture will be moving into New Mexico through the weekend. Afternoon rain and thunderstorm chances will then increase into early next week.
Drier air moved in to end the week. A few isolated showers and storms still developed though, mainly in western New Mexico. Rain has ended tonight, but a backdoor cold front will be moving into northeastern New Mexico. This front will increase the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, and bring upslope flow along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. That could lead to heavy rainfall over the mountains Saturday afternoon. More showers and thunderstorms will develop across the state Saturday with more monsoon moisture moving in. Locally heavy rainfall will again be possible, with Flood Watches in effect for burn scar areas.

Even more monsoon moisture moves in Sunday and Monday, and this will bring increasing rain chances through Monday afternoon. Once again, storms will be capable of heavy rainfall each day, so flash flooding will be possible. More storms will continue into Wednesday, with the heaviest of the rain falling in western and northern parts of New Mexico. The southeast part of the state will stay the driest and hottest.
Drier weather moves in for almost all of New Mexico for the Fourth of July. However, another surge of monsoon moisture will likely move in on that Friday, bringing back scattered afternoon storm chances.
The Garcia Subaru Pet Pics segment highlights New Mexico Living viewers’ pets. Friday’s pet of the day is Twiggs. She is an 8-month-old foster fail who was adopted from Watermelon Mountain Ranch in January by Jessica Morning. Twiggs was named for her love of sticks. She spends her days getting into things she shouldn’t, annoying her three rescue siblings, and barking at things that are not there.
