It’s been announced that Carlos Santana has delayed his Texas performance due to an incident at the Majestic Theatre where he apparently fainted during rehearsals. At approximately 5 p.m., emergency services were called to the venue, and the musician was transported to a nearby hospital for precautionary reasons.

Afterward, his supervisor released a declaration clarifying Santana’s present state. “Mr. Santana was getting ready for tonight’s performance at the [Majestic Theatre] when he encountered an incident that turned out to be dehydration,” the statement explained. To ensure Mr. Santana’s well-being, and as a precautionary measure, it was deemed necessary to postpone the show, the statement continued. (via Daily Mail)

Despite earlier concerns, it appears that Santana’s health has shown signs of improvement. The manager indicated that he is currently in good spirits. Furthermore, the Grammy-winning artist expresses eagerness about returning to San Antonio soon. He also intends to carry on with his 2025 US tour.

Previously, Santana has encountered health issues that were somewhat comparable. In 2022, it was allegedly reported that he suffered a collapse on stage at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan. The reason for Santana’s fainting spell was said to be due to heat exhaustion and dehydration.

In 2025, the guitarist has a number of scheduled tour dates lined up. This includes his Oneness Tour, with performances planned for cities like Tulsa, Nashville, and Thackerville. Additionally, he’s got several shows planned in Las Vegas, particularly in May.

Santana is gearing up for an exceptional event – he’s planning a multi-day, multi-artist festival with the aspirational vision of replicating the spirit of Woodstock. In reference to his upcoming performances, Santana shared with Billboard, “Given the current state of our planet, with the looming fear of nuclear war and tensions in Korea, China, Russia, and the Middle East, I aim to organize a global concert that circumnavigates the world, fostering unity, harmony, and oneness.

The musician aspires to play concerts at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, New York’s Central Park, and Hyde Park in London. He was excited, exclaiming, “The tour will continue across Asia, including Japan and Singapore, all the way down under to Australia and New Zealand, and it will culminate with a performance in Honolulu.
