Carlos Santana faced an injury in January 2025 when he fractured his finger during a severe fall, leading to the postponement of his Las Vegas residency.

“I regret to inform you that Carlos was out walking at his vacation residence in Kauai. He suffered a significant fall and broke his little finger on his left hand,” Vrionis stated at that time. “He required pins to be inserted into his finger. Sadly, he won’t be able to play the guitar for around six weeks.”

In July 2022, Santana had a similar incident of collapsing on stage due to dehydration. He fainted during a concert in Michigan and was subsequently hospitalized for his injuries.
