Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that a health scare has prompted multi-Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame guitarist, Carlos Santana, to cancel his December dates at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.

Santana said in a YouTube message Wednesday afternoon he had experienced chest discomfort Saturday and asked his wife and bandmate Cindy Blackman Santana to take him to the hospital.

“We went there and we found out I need to take care of it, and I am,” the 74-year-old rock star said. “So I am going to be taking time out for a little bit, to make sure I replenish and I rest and I catch up with my health, so that when I play for you, I will play the way I am used to, and give you 150 percent.”

Santana’s reps are describing the incident as “an unscheduled heart procedure". He is expected back on stage January 26.
