Carlos Santana fans will have to wait a bit longer to catch his Las Vegas residency after the legendary guitarist suffered an injury to his hand, causing his January and February shows to be postponed.
"I am sorry to say that Carlos was out taking a walk at his vacation home in Kauai,” his manager and president of Universal Tone Management, Michael Vrionis, said in a statement on Friday, Jan. 3. “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."

Noting that "Carlos is doing well" and is "anxious to be back on stage soon," Vrionis continued, "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.”
The 10-time Grammy winner, 77, was originally scheduled to play eight shows at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay beginning Jan. 22 through Feb. 8. Though the residency has now been postponed, fans can expect Santana to play the rest of his shows on his Oneness Tour beginning April 16.

He will resume his residency in Vegas starting May 14 through May 25, and the rescheduled shows will be announced at a later date. Santana is slated to make his way overseas in June, kicking off the European leg of his tour in Lodz, Poland, on the 9th.
This isn't the first time Santana has had to cancel a performance due to health reasons.
The "Smooth" guitarist postponed a string of shows in the summer of 2022 after collapsing on stage during a performance in Michigan due to heat exhaustion and dehydration, his manager said in a statement at the time.
