Spanish music sensation Enrique Iglesias couldn't travel to Mexico City on Saturday to close out the first night of the two-day Tecate Emblema music festival because doctors have advised him complete bed rest. The singer is suffering from pneumonia.

Iglesias, known for hit tracks such as ''Hero'',&nbsp;''Bailamos'', and ''Heartbeat'' among others, issued a&nbsp;statement via his social media platforms. It read, "Dear fans, much to my regret, it'll be impossible for me to appear at the show tonight in Mexico. I have pneumonia and doctors have advised absolute rest and have forbidden me to get on an airplane.''

The 48-year-old singer added, "I am frankly sad to cancel this show in a country that has given me so much. I hope to recover fast and be able to be with you all in full form soon."
