Enrique Iglesias Sliced His Fingers On A Drone And Finished His Concert Covered In Blood
Badass isn’t exactly a word that comes to mind when thinking about Enrique Iglesias, but what he did at a show last night in Tijuana certainly fits the description. After grabbing onto a drone that’s used to take crowd photos (something he apparently does at a lot of his shows), he sliced his fingers open. A statement released to Associated Press said that he was “semi-treated” at the side of the stage after the incident and advised to cut the concert short, but he decided to keep on going for another half hour. Social media reports show that he tried to draw a heart on his t-shirt with his own blood. Immediately following the show, he was rushed to the airport for medical assistance, and then flown to Los Angeles to see a medical specialist. Lots of pictures surfaced of the incident, and they’re all pretty gnarly — check a few out below.

UPDATE: The Associated Press reports that Iglesias is undergoing reconstructive hand surgery in Los Angeles.
UPDATE 2: Billboard reports that Iglesias may not regain full sensitivity in his finger. Explains their “insider” source, “He will need minor rehab once his finger and skin graft have healed. Only time will tell if sensitivity on that tip of the finger will come back and at what percentage.”
