Colón had to cancel an appearance in Lima, Peru on Thursday, where he was scheduled to appear on a double bill with Marc Anthony. Anthony extended his part of the program to make up for the absence, and brought out members of Colón's band, who were already on a plane by the time Colón fell ill, for "Aguanile" and "Mi Gente." The concert had been billed as a tribute to Hector Lavoe, Colón's former vocalist whom Anthony portrayed in the 2007 film El Cantante.
