Award winning guitar legend Carlos Santana has announced that his upcoming Las Vegas residency will be postponed. The legendary rocker was scheduled to begin his next set of shows at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino House of Blues on January 22.
While on vacation at his Kauai, Hawaii home when he had a fall that resulted in a broken left pinky finger. The finger has been repaired which included the insertion of pins and will take about six weeks to heal.
President, Universal Tone Management Michael Vrionis spoke on the incident saying, “unfortunately, he won’t be able to play guitar for approximately six weeks. Doctors do say that he will recuperate fully.”
He added, “Carlos is doing well and is anxious to be back on stage soon. He just needs to heal. 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.”
At this time no date has been set for the rescheduled shows.
