The 77-year-old musician was hospitalized after collapsing during a sound check on Tuesday, April 22, in San Antonio, Texas.
According to Santana’s representative, the cause of the incident was dehydration. He has since been discharged and is currently resting in a hotel. However, as a precaution, Santana’s scheduled performance for Wednesday night at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas, has been officially postponed.
The Sugar Land concert marks the second show affected on his ongoing “Oneness” tour, following the postponement of Tuesday night’s appearance at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio. Santana also has upcoming concerts slated for Friday and Saturday in Oklahoma, but it remains uncertain whether those performances will go on as planned.
“Carlos is expected to be fine,” his rep shared, “but we are prioritizing his full recovery before he returns to the stage.”
The “Oneness” tour has drawn fans from across the country, eager to see the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer perform live. With decades of music under his belt and a legacy of hits, Santana’s well-being has been a major concern among his fans.
Further updates on Santana’s tour status are expected in the coming days as he continues his recovery.
