The singer's hand surgery lasted 'longer than expected' but he's expected to make a full recovery.
Enrique Iglesias is recovering after having major reconstructive surgery to his hand as the result of an injury the singer suffered during a concert in Tijuana over the weekend. Now, it turns out the damage was more severe than previously believed.
The incident occurred when the 40-year-old performer reached out to grab a flying drone used for aerial photography inside the concert arena, but ended up slicing his hand open on the device.

"His recent surgery lasted longer than expected," Team Enrique shared on Tuesday. "He suffered a fracture that needed to be corrected in addition to the reconstructive surgery. He will be recovering during the next few weeks, but a full recovery is anticipated.”
