Life hasn't been easy for guitar legend Carlos Santana. In fact, it's been a long and bumpy road to legendary status for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and his real-life story is full of tragedy. Here are some of the things he's had to tough through.

Born in southern Mexico, Carlos Santana's family moved to Tijuana when he was seven. He told Rolling Stone his father put him and his brothers to work, selling gum on the street, shining shoes, and eventually, singing Mexican folk songs. Showing an aptitude for the guitar, he soon accompanied his bar-musician father to gigs in dirt-floored saloons full of shady characters.

By age 14, Santana went off on his own, earning $9 a week providing musical accompaniment to strippers. He didn't get a lot of pleasure out of the work, saying,

"It's just watching an assembly job. After a while, you learn the most sensual thing is innocence."

During this time, Santana says he was abused by an American man who would buy him food, clothes, and toys, and then take him into the U.S. and abuse him. After the man slapped him for watching a woman through a window, Santana explained,

"I looked at him for the first time for who he was: a very sick person."
