Carlos Santana was hospitalized following a medical emergency that occured during soundcheck ahead of his concert at San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre on Tuesday (April 22). Doctors determined that the 77-year-old guitar legend was suffering from dehydration. The show was postponed, but Santana’s spring US tour is set to continue as planned, with the next show scheduled for April 23 in Sugar Land, Texas. “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,” manager Michael Vrionis stated. “He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his US Tour. Thank you all very much for your understanding. The show will be rescheduled soon.” Despite this health setback, Santana has plans for a Vegas residency running from May 14-25, followed by a UK/European tour this summer, and a continuation of his Vegas residency in September and November.
