Enrique Iglesias undergoing reconstructive surgery after slicing fingers on drone during concert
Singer, 40, performed for an additional 30 minutes before being flown to Los Angeles for treatment
Enrique Iglesias is undergoing reconstructive hand surgery in Los Angeles after his fingers were sliced during a recent concert.
His representative said in a statement to The Associated Press that surgery on the 40-year-old singer will be completed Monday.
Iglesias sliced some of his fingers when he grabbed a drone during a concert in Tijuana, Mexico, on Saturday. He was "semitreated" at the side of the stage to stop the bleeding.
"Thank you to all for your concern and good wishes. Enrique is currently undergoing reconstructive hand surgery today," the statement read. "Enrique will resume his tour July 3rd in Mexico City. We appreciate all your wishes and prayers."
Iglesias was rushed to Los Angeles after the concert to see a specialist. The singer's show was part of his Love and Sex World Tour.
The Spanish-born, Miami-raised pop singer is the eldest child of international singing sensation Julio Iglasias and Filipina television host Isabel Preysler.
