Days after legendary guitarist Carlos Santana collapsed onstage in Michigan due to dehydration, the band is postponing its next six shows out of “an abundance of caution.”
“Doctors have recommended that Mr. Santana rest to make a full recovery,” Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis said in a statement Friday.
The guitarist and his band Santana postponed a Friday night show in Noblesville, Indiana and upcoming shows in Cincinnati, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Rogers, Arkansas; Dallas Texas; and The Woodlands, Texas, will also have to be rescheduled, according to a statement on its website.
“Carlos is doing well and can’t wait to get back on stage soon. He just needs a rest,” added Vrionis. “Santana deeply regrets … these postponements of his upcoming performances; but his health is our number one concern. He looks forward to seeing all his fans very soon.”
