The legendary guitarist Carlos Santana suffered a frightening health scare on Tuesday that has scuttled a planned show in Texas.
The 77-year-old performer is hospitalized and under observation after becoming ill hours prior to the concert, his manager Michael Vrionis said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Santana had been set to perform at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio as part of his Oneness Tour 2025 before his medical emergency.
‘Mr. Santana was at the [Majestic Theatre] preparing for tonight’s show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,’ Vrionis said. ‘Out of an abundance of caution and the health of Mr Santana, the decision to postpone the show was the most prudent course of action.’
Santana’s manager stressed that the guitar virtuoso–turned–hitmaker is ‘doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his US Tour.’
The musician had a similar scare in July 2022 when he collapsed on stage at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, which was later reported to be due to heat exhaustion and dehydration.
