Carlos Santana undergoes heart procedure, cancels Las Vegas shows

Carlos Santana has canceled all the December shows of his Las Vegas show at the House of Blues, because he's recovering from what's described as an "unscheduled heart procedure."

The 74-year-old guitar legend tweeted a video in which he explains that last Saturday, he asked his wife to take him to the hospital because "I had this thing happening in my chest." 

"We found out that I need to take care of it, so I am," Carlos goes on. "So I'm gonna be taking time out for a little bit to make sure that I replenish and I rest....so that when I play for you, I will play the way I'm used to and give you 150%. I wouldn't show up unless I could do that."

Santana will resume his shows in January of 2022.  A statement from his manager further explains that Santana's "procedure" "impacted his performance," but adds that Carlos is "doing fantastic and is anxious to be back on stage soon."
