Enrique Iglesias is back on tour after a three-year hiatus, but his recent performances have left fans wondering if he's lost his mojo.

The Grammy award winner is on The Trilogy Tour with Pitbull and Ricky Martin.

The trio kicked off the tour last month and will be on the road until next year as their gig has been extended for 18 more shows.

But the extension doesn’t mean that the tour is a complete success. 

While Pitbull and Ricky appear to be impressing fans with their performances, Enrique’s on-stage antics are going viral for all the wrong reasons. 

In a video shared by a fan, the Hero singer is seen humping the stage and sounding exhausted while singing lyrics from his song I Like It featuring Pitbull.

In other videos posted on social media, the 48-year-old crooner barely sings, instead allowing his fans to do most of the work. 

Fans have also shared videos of him singing out of tune, with some saying it was like attending a night of karaoke.

Although there are still many women falling at his feet and screaming for him, one fan took to social media to ask, “What happened to Enrique?”

“Can he even sing?” another said.

Yet another implied that he must be an Enrique impersonator.

His behaviour has fans scratching their heads, with many suspecting that he may be going through something.

During one of his performances, the Be with You singer shared a drink with fans which appeared to be alcohol.

“This was Pitbull’s concert. Enrique shouldn’t drink so much, and he was out of tune and didn’t sing all his songs. Disappointed. No encore,” someone said on social media. 

Enrique had toured with Pitbull in 2017 and had a series of gigs with Ricky in 2021 and fans loved his performances back then. 

Now, some are requesting refunds after the disappointing shows. 

The singer hasn’t addressed the criticism, as he promotes his 11th studio album titled Final (Vol 2) which he plans to release in February.

“It might be my final album. It's not something that I have been thinking about for the past few months. It’s something that I have been thinking about for the past few years,” he shared on Instagram.
