Carlos Santana has canceled several of his upcoming concerts in Las Vegas to recover from a successful unplanned heart procedure. No other details were given on the nature of the transaction.
Santana made the announcement in a video posted to her official Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
“Last Saturday I had an incident where my wife had to take me to the hospital because I had this thing going on in my chest,” Santana said. “So when we went there, we found out we had to take care of it. “
Santana has also stated his intention to return for his performances scheduled for January 2022.
“I’m going to take a little time to make sure that I am rebuilding and resting and catching up on my health, so when I play for you I play as usual and give you 150%,” continued Santana.

The 74-year-old guitarist was scheduled to give a series of concerts at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino until the end of the year.
“Carlos is doing extremely well and can’t wait to return to the stage soon,” said Michael Vrionis, president of Universal Tone Management, in a statement. “He deeply regrets that this“ retarder ”has necessitated the cancellation of his next performances. “
In addition to their shows in Las Vegas, rock band Santana released their 26th album, “Blessings and Miracles,” in October. Distribution was handled by Starfaith LLC and BMG Rights Management, while Santana produced. The album features a collaboration with Rob Thomas, marking a reunion between the two musicians 20 years after the release of their hit “Smooth”.
