Enrique Iglesias will have reconstructive surgery on his hand after slicing his fingers during a show Saturday.

Iglesias performed an additional 30 minutes, though he was advised to end his show after the accident occurred at Plaza de Toros de Playas in front of 12,000 fans, who posted photos and video on social media of Iglesias with a bandaged hand and blooded T-shirt.
Iglesias was rushed to Los Angeles after the concert to see a specialist. The singer's show was part of his Sex and Love World Tour.
