Enrique Iglesias Recovering From Finger-Slicing Drone Concert Accident

Enrique Iglesias is now recovering after suffering a bloody injury during a concert in Tijuana, Mexico.

Iglesias had his fingers sliced after grabbing a camera drone made for taking crowd shots, Billboard reported. The "Hero" singer's representative told The Associated Press that Iglesias "was 'semi-treated' after the accident at the side of the stage to stop the bleeding on Saturday night (May 30)," the news outlet wrote. He was advised to put a stop to the concert, but he adapted a "the show must go on" attitude and insisted on performing for another 30 minutes.

Iglesias often grabs a drone whenever he performs to give the audience a "point of view" angle, Billboard added. During the concert at Mexico, the crooner visibly bled as spectators at Plaza de Toros de Playas watched. The concertgoers posted photos of Iglesias on social media with blood smeared all over his white t-shirt.

The singer was just 50 minutes into his show and halfway through his performance of the song "Escape" when his injury occurred, Daily Mail noted. He was seen grabbing the drone to adjust the camera attached to it. When he held the device for a second time, he abruptly dropped it after his fingers got sliced by one of its rotator blades.

Joe Bonilla, the 40-year-old singer's representative, tweeted a snapshot of Iglesias drawing a heart on his t-shirt using his own blood. Check out the image below.

According to the artist's rep, Iglesias was "later rushed to the airport and he's now seeing a specialist in Los Angeles," Billboard wrote.

The Associated Press published a video of Iglesias having his injured hand treated and bandaged after the incident and then returning to the stage to sing some of his most well-known tracks, "Bailando" and "I Like It." Watch it below.

Fans flocked to the Enrique Iglesias Tijuana fan club Facebook page to commend the singer's professionalism at the concert even after being heavily injured. They also expressed their well-wishes and hoped for Iglesias' speedy recovery, CNN reported.

On his official site, Team Enrique thanked the fans' support and wrote: "Thank you to all the fans for your concern and good wishes. Enrique is getting the help he needs and we hope he will be totally fine. Will keep you posted and appreciate all your wishes and prayers."

The concert in Tijuana, which saw an estimate of 12,000 audience members, was a part of the Spanish musician's Sex and Love World Tour, E! News reported. Iglesias is still set to perform a show in Mexico City on June 3-4, with a break scheduled until August. Afterwards, the singer will fly to Europe for more appearances.
