emergency personnel.
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."
