Carlos Santana experienced an injury in January 2025 when he broke his finger during a difficult fall. The injury resulted in the postponement of Santana's Las Vegas residency.

“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”, Vrionis said at the time. “He had to have pins inserted in his finger. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to play guitar for approximately six weeks”.

In July 2022, Santana suffered a similar collapse from dehydration on stage. He fainted at a concert in Michigan and was hospitalized for his injuries.
