A representative for the singer said in a statement to The Associated Press that Iglesias was “semi-treated” offstage after his fingers were sliced when he grabbed the drone. During live shows, Iglesias sometimes grabs a drone to show the audience a “point-of-view” angle.

NEW YORK — With a photo flashing a red "Thank You!" written in the palm of his unharmed hand, Enrique Iglesias thanked his fans on Instagram for their support while he recovers from his recent finger-slicing accident.

"Wanted to do something special to thank all you guys for your love and support this week. Leave your questions on this post!" wrote the Spanish heartthrob.

Hundreds of followers, mostly women writing in Spanish, immediately flooded the post with good wishes and questions like, "When are you resuming your tour?"

"My hand is getting better little by little," he replied to an admirer in Spanish. "I am going to Mexico at the beginning of July, so see you there!"

Iglesias sliced his fingers when grabbing a drone at a show in Tijuana, Mexico, last weekend.
