Grammy-winning recording artist Carlos Santana collapsed on stage during a concert Tuesday night in Michigan due to heat exhaustion and dehydration, according to his manager.
Videos posted on social media showed medical personnel surrounding the rock legend after he collapsed in an outdoor amphitheater about 40 miles northwest of Detroit.
Fans said that at one point after his fall, he was seen waving to the crowd. Believing him to be conscious and fine, the audience cheered as he was led off stage behind a black tarp.
In a press release, Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis said he was taken to a hospital for observation and is doing well.
“Tomorrow’s July 6th show at The Pavilion at Star Lake (formerly S&T Bank Music Park) in Burgettstown, PA will be postponed to a later date. More details will follow via Live Nation,” Vrionis said.
Santana, 74, a longtime Bay Area resident, is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has won 10 Grammy Awards.
He is currently on the “Miraculous Supernatural” tour with Earth, Wind & Fire.
