Carlos Santana In Dire Health? Singer Cancels Shows Over Shocking, Alarming Reason

Carlos Santana faced an issue ahead of his scheduled December shows.

Shortly before Santana finally conquers the stages again, the rocker announced he would be canceling the tours that he scheduled this month.

Through a video he released on Wednesday, he revealed that he asked his wife to accompany him to the hospital over the weekend after feeling "weird" with his chest. The president of Universal Tone Management Michael Vrionis revealed that the 74-year-old guitarist underwent an unscheduled heart procedure during the visit.

However, Santana nor Vrionis gave further details on what happened to the musician or what procedure he went through.

"I'm going to be taking time off for a little bit to make sure that I replenish and I rest and I catch up with my health," he said. "Other than that, I hope you and your family are enjoying good health, peace of mind and joy."

Vrionis, on the other hand, assured Santana is doing well and excited to perform and see the fans again soon. Santana's expected earliest return is in January 2022 at the House of Blues.

Santana was supposed to perform at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino through the end of the year before the procedure underwent.
