Latin
star
Enrique
Iglesias
has
admitted
that
he
was
nervous
about
performing
in
front
of
a
gay
audience
in
a
club
in
London
in
June
this
year.
The
singer
said
that
he
was
expecting
jeers
from
the
audience,
but
quite
ironically
the
gig
went
on
well
and
he
'loved'
the
experience.
Iglesias
also
said
that
the
club's
manager
thought
that
he
might
turn
down
their
offer.
"It
was
my
first
time
performing
at
a
gay
club.
But
I
didn't
know
what
to
expect.
You
get
nervous,
you
have
this
adrenaline,
you're
going
to
perform
for
3,000
gay
men
-
you
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
be
silent,
if
they're
going
to
boo
you.
I
loved
it.
It's
funny,
the
owner
called
my
manager
and
said,
'We
figured
Enrique
is
probably
going
to
say
no....'
And
I
said,
'Yeah.
Are
you
kidding
me,'" Contactmusic
quoted
Iglesias,
as
saying.
The
Grammy
award
winner
added
that
he
knew
that
gay
audience
was
loyal,
and
that
his
record
producer
also
encouraged
him
to
go
ahead
with
the
idea.
At
the
gig,
the
32-year-old
was
surprised
to
see
his
audience
joining
him
and
singing
so
aloud
that
he
couldn't
hear
himself.
"I
know
the
gay
audience
is
very
loyal.
The
guy
that
I
work
with,
produce
all
the
records
with,
he's
gay.
The
first
person
I
called
was
him.
I
was
like,
'Man,
guess
what
we're
doing.'
He
was
like,
'We
gotta
do
it.
It's
going
to
be
great.'
When
I
went
on
stage,
they
were
singing
so
loud
I
couldn't
hear
myself.
My
ears
were
ringing
for
two
days,
I
promise," he
added.
