Carlos Santana’s management pulled the plug on a scheduled Texas gig after the legendary guitarist was hospitalized due to dehydration, according to his rep. Santana, 74, was due to play San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre on Tuesday evening as part of a U.S. tour that started last week, but he suffered an incident during soundcheck preparations and was taken to hospital for observation. Witnesses said he was put on a stretcher and taken out of the venue before being loaded into an ambulance. Doctors later surmised that the Mexican musician was suffering from dehydration. Santana’s manager, Michael 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.” Offering an update on his client’s condition, he added: “He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his U.S. tour. Thank you all very much for your understanding.” Vrionis said that the show will be rescheduled “soon.” Santana’s Oneness Tour 2025 is expected to continue. The musician collapsed on stage under similar circumstances in 2022 during a gig in Michigan.
