Rock Legend Carlos Santana Suffers Medical Emergency Before Concert
Rock icon Carlos Santana suffered a medical emergency before his concert in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday, and the performance was postponed, according to reports.
The San Antonio Fire Department told MySanAntonio.com that a medical crew responded to a possible fainting around 5 p.m. at the Majestic Theatre and that the 77-year-old was transported to an area hospital.
Citing sources, TMZ wrote that the collapse occurred during a soundcheck. Video obtained by the entertainment site purportedly shows Santana being taken on a gurney into a waiting ambulance but the transfer is mostly obscured by staff.
His manager, Michael Vrionis, said the cause was dehydration.
'Mr. Santana was at the venue (Majestic Theatre) preparing for tonight's show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,' Vrionis said in a statement to the theater on Facebook. '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. He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his US Tour.'
HuffPost has reached out to Santana's team for an update.
Dehydration was also reportedly behind Santana's collapse during a concert in 2022.
He underwent a heart procedure in late 2021.
Santana, who's considered one of rock 'n' roll's most innovative guitarists, exploded on to the scene with a memorable performance at Woodstock with his band of the same name in 1969.

Legendary rock band Santana canceled the first eight shows of its 2025 residency at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, from Jan. 22 to Feb. 2, due to frontman Carlos Santana breaking a finger in an accidental fall at his vacation home in Hawaii. Santana revealed that the band will return for its "An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live" residency in the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino for 15 new shows in September and November rock superstar Rod Stewart cancelled five of his June residency shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Las Vegas on the Strip and one other Nevada show this month, since he's suffering from the flu.

Utah Asian Festival, showcasing the state's diverse Asian community, set for Saturday
The annual Utah Asian Festival returns to Salt Lake City, showcasing the diverse community and underscoring the travails of many of its members in reaching the state. Organizers dub the event the longest-running Asian festival in the United States, with more than 60 scheduled performances by traditional and contemporary groups, more than 30 food vendors and 70-plus community and artisan booths. The event Saturday at the Utah State Fairpark, 155 N. 1000 West in Salt Lake City, goes from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Though entry is free, parking at the fairgrounds costs $15. 'The growth of the festival exploded recently thanks to an influx of younger volunteer organizers. They share the founders' unwavering commitment to uplifting our many cultures, but have brought with them novel ideas propelling the festival to new heights as a grand celebration for the entire state,' said Margaret Yee, a founder of the original event. The event aims to promote unity within the diverse Asian community in Utah and cross-cultural understanding. Manuel Camu, co-chairman of the festival, referenced hostility some in the Asian community have faced of late. 'When I learned that the festival originated as an attempt to unify the various Asian ethnic groups, I felt it was my duty to continue the mission, especially in the midst of resurgent anti-Asian violence and discrimination,' he said in a statement. Gechlang Ear, the festival co-chairwoman, noted the roots of many in the community as refugees and asylum-seekers. More than 120,000 Asians in all live in Utah, event organizers estimate. 'This celebration is important to us because we believe in the Utah that isn't celebrated enough — the Utah that is home to over 60,000 asylum-seekers and thousands more, like myself, who have come from far-away lands but take pride in calling this place our refuge,' she said. The festival is an initiative of the Asian Association of Utah, which serves Asian immigrants and refugees.
