The Latin rockstar canceled multiple shows in Las Vegas last December. He took time off the road after it was reported that he underwent an ‘unscheduled heart procedure’.
Santana posted a video clip on his Twitter page to explain the situation.
He said, ‘Last Saturday, I had an incident where I asked my wife, Cindy, to take me to the hospital. Because I had this thing happening in my chest.’
The star continued, ‘ I am going to be taking time off for a little bit to make sure I replenish.’
He further added, ‘I will play the way I’m used to and give you 150 percent. I wouldn’t show up unless I could do that.’
