Enrique Iglesias is recovering after his fingers were sliced during a mishap with a camera-carrying drone at a concert Saturday night in Tijuana, Mexico.
“During the show a drone is used to get crowd shots and some nights Enrique grabs the drone to give the audience a Point of View shot,” a rep for the singer told People in a statement. “Something went wrong and he had an accident.”
The Latin heartthrob was bleeding noticeably after making contact with the drone. He went to the side of the stage, received treatment and continued the show for another 30 minutes despite the bleeding.
His publicist Joe Bonilla posted photos on social media of Iglesias, 40, with blood all over his white T-shirt.
Una muestra más de su profesionalismo!

About 12,000 people attended the concert at a bullfighting ring and witnessed the mishap. Once the show ended, Iglesias was treated for his injuries
“He was rushed to the airport where an ambulance met him there. He was then put on a plane to L.A. to see a specialist,” the statement continued.
The show was part of Iglesias’ Sex and Love World Tour. His next show is in July in Mexico City.
