Enrique Iglesias was performing in Mexico last night when he suffered a hand injury after attempting to grab a drone camera.

According to reports, the singer reached up and tried to grab the drone which is used to take crowd shots.

A statement released by the star’s representative today said “During the show a drone is used to get crowd shots and some nights Enrique grabs the drone to give the audience a Point of View shot.

“Something went wrong and he had an accident. He decided to go on and continued playing for 30 minutes while the bleeding continued throughout the show”.
