Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana has postponed the next leg of his Las Vegas residency at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino due to an "accidental fall" at his home in Hawaii.

The residency was set to begin January 22, with Santana scheduled to perform eight shows through February 2.

Michael Vrionis, president of Universal Tone Management, issued a statement earlier today addressing the situation.

I am sorry to say that Carlos was out taking a walk at his vacation home in Kauai. He took a hard fall, and he broke his little finger on his left hand. He had to have pins inserted in the finger. Unfortunately, he won't be able to play guitar for approximately six weeks. Doctors do say that he will recuperate fully.

Carlos is doing well and is anxious to be back on stage soon. He just needs to heal," Vrionis added. "Santana profoundly regrets these postponements of his upcoming performances, but accidents happen, and his health is our number one concern. He is looking forward to seeing all of his fans very soon.
