NEW YORK (AP) — Enrique Iglesias is undergoing reconstructive hand surgery 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. He performed an additional 30 minutes and was then rushed to a hospital.
His representative said “thank you to all for your concern and good wishes. … We appreciate all your wishes and prayers.”
Iglesias’ next show will be July 3 in Mexico City.
