Cindy Blackman, Carlos Santana to Wed

Guitar legend Carlos Santana enjoys playing to the beat of his drummer (and longtime girlfriend), Cindy Blackman. So much so, in fact, that he’s marrying her. The 62-year-old Santana proposed onstage to the 50-year-old Blackman at a concert in Illinois on Friday. “Being in love is a gift from the universe, and the spirit and vibrations that come with it are infinitely powerful,” the musician said in a statement released to MTV News. “I look forward to expressing that incredible energy through my music, and in helping to tip the balance toward more love in the world with what Cindy and I share.” This will be Santana’s second marriage. His first was to Deborah Santana, his wife of 34 years, whom he divorced in 2007. No official wedding information has been released.
