TIJUANA, Mexico – Latin pop singer Enrique Iglesias suffered a bloody injury in an accident involving a drone at one of his concerts.
Iglesias was performing at the Plaza de Toros de Playa on May 30 as part of his world tour when a drone used to capture photos hovered near him.
The 40-year-old singer grabbed the device to give the 12,000-member audience a point of view shot. Some of Iglesias’ fingers were sliced when he grabbed the drone, E! Online reports.
