Enrique Iglesias escaped a nasty death in Egypt as he left the Middle East over the holidays when his driver had to swerve to avoid an oil tanker on the way to the airport.

The Latino hunk and his tour manager were singing the praises of driver Walid in a video which has been posted on Iglesias' website, when he had to get out of the way of a careless juggernaut driver, who pulled out in front of them following a gig in Alexandria.

Shaken Iglesias said, "Walid, you're motherf**king crazy! You don't f**k around!"

But the singer made it back to America in one piece and was onstage at pal Pitbull's New Year's Eve (31Dec14) party held at the Thompson Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida on Wednesday (31Dec14), when he performed alongside his tourmate, Ne-Yo and Fall Out Boy, among others.

Iglesias and Pitbull will hit the road together again at the end of the month (Jan15) as their The Tour kicks off again in El Paso, Texas.
