Salsa music legend Willie Colon has been hospitalized.

Colon's wife says he had been in pain and was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital where he is getting tests done and will have gall bladder surgery.

The 58-year-old canceled his upcoming performance with Marc Anthony in Peru, and other performances.

The Bronx native is known for his Latin jazz style on the trombone.
