Shakira has vowed to carry on the fight to free hostages that are being held in her native Colombia. The pop superstar, who has been named as the Queen of Spanish music, praised the recent rescue of 15 captives from the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia.

After the release of the captives, who had been held for six years, Shakira spoke out that the fight against terrorism in the country is far from over. The singer along with other Latin music stars including Alejandro Sanz, Miguel Bose, Juanes, and Carlos Vives, pledged in an open letter to the former hostages that the fight will go on until all the captives who are currently being held are given their freedom.

“We will continue until we see all of them free. Our eyes and lips will not rest until we see and kiss those who remain captives of those without conscience,” Shakira was quoted as saying.

Shakira is in talks to sign a multi-million dollar deal with the concert promoter Live Nation, it’s been reported. The singer is understood to be considering an all-encompassing agreement which will include her touring, recording and merchandise assets.

The talks, which according to the New York Post are in an advanced stage, could be worth a reported $70million. Live Nation already have a touring partnership with Shakira. Last year the company controlled the US leg of her Oral Fixation tour, which is believed to have grossed $100million.

A sweeping deal with Live Nation would echo the company’s recent acquisition of Madonna and US rapper Jay-Z under similar agreements.
