Where the sources differ
All three sources agree that Don Omar announced the postponement on Wednesday Nov. 11 due to a relapse of a respiratory infection and that this is the second postponement of the same three concerts in less than two weeks. Metro Puerto Rico El Nuevo Día and Primera Hora all quote the same key phrases from his Instagram statement. El Nuevo Día provides the most background on prior dates including the Oct. 30 announcement the original postponement and the specific venues while the other two sources are briefer. The sources differ slightly on the exact wording of locations with Metro Puerto Rico correctly listing Ontario California while Primera Hora initially says Ontario Canada before correcting to the U.S. cities.
What the reports do not say
The reports do not state the severity of the current relapse whether Don Omar has sought hospital care or received a specific medical diagnosis beyond a respiratory infection. They also do not indicate how long he expects to rest when the tour might resume or any details about refunds or exchanges for ticket holders. Future plans for the tour's planned closing shows in Puerto Rico in late 2027 are not updated.
