Isabel Pantoja shields herself due to illness and takes out insurance for almost two million euros

The tonadillera’s health is not going through its best moment. The cancellation of his concert last week in Tenerife due to thrombophlebitis has set off alarm bells and those responsible for the 50th Anniversary tour of Isabel Pantoja They have set to work to not lose a single cent in the face of setbacks. The artist’s contract is now joined by insurance that protects her cache, 80,000 euros per performance.

According to the magazine ReadingsKiko Rivera’s mother will collect this amount whether her illness allows her to perform or not, since the promoter of her tour contracted insurance on April 13 that covers the twelve concerts scheduled until September 7 for 1.920.000 euros: “This is an insurance company that is dedicated to supporting this type of big tours where there is a lot of money involved and where there are many people who work and make a living from it, not just Isabel Pantoja,” said director Luis Pliego. .

Of course, the insurance only covers sick leave for certain illnesses: “The whims of a diva, that I wake up one day and don’t want to sing, that is not included. That you have COVID, either, you have to sing. That you are hoarse, either, that You don’t have lumbago, either.” And she added: “She has already received the full amount for the tour because Isabel Pantoja does not announce a date without having received payment.”

Twelve concerts in Spain

The 50th Anniversary tour is Isabel Pantoja’s great reappearance on stage and also a relief from her problems with the Treasury, as it would inject her with enough money to pay off a large part of the debt she maintains with the Tax Agency. However, her tonadillera did not count on this health mishap that has already forced her to postpone her concert in Tenerife due to a medical leave that required complete rest. According to the program FiestaPantoja’s state of health could be more delicate than is suggested: “The next concert is on May 25 in Zaragoza and it may also be suspended due to the information that this program has. Isabel Pantoja’s health situation may not be as mild as we have been told.”

Paquirri’s widow suffers from thrombophlebitis, a disease that causes painful inflammation in the legs due to a blood clot that blocks one or more veins. Pantoja has been treated for her condition over the last few months and she always travels accompanied by her physiotherapist, the boyfriend of her niece Anabel, to massage her legs before going on stage. However, doctors have told him that the only way to alleviate the discomfort and complications is complete rest.
