Iconic guitarist Carlos Santana has postponed his upcoming Las Vegas residency after suffering an “accidental fall” at his home in Hawaii.
The residency was set to begin on January 22 at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, with Santana scheduled to perform eight shows through February 2.
Michael Vrionis, president of Universal Tone Management, said in a statement: “I am sorry to say that Carlos was out taking a walk at his vacation home in Kauai. He took a hard fall, and he broke his little finger on his left hand. He had to have pins inserted in the finger. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to play guitar for approximately six weeks. Doctors do say that he will recuperate fully.”
“Carlos is doing well and is anxious to be back on stage soon. He just needs to heal,” Vrionis added. “Santana profoundly regrets these postponements of his upcoming performances, but accidents happen, and his health is our number one concern. He is looking forward to seeing all of his fans very soon.”
