Carlos Santana postpones another Texas concert after being hospitalized for alarming ‘medical emergency'
Carlos Santana has postponed another Texas concert after he was rushed to the hospital for a 'medical emergency' on Tuesday, The Post can confirm.
Although the 'Evil Ways' musician is said to be 'doing well' following Tuesday's incident in San Antonio, he was forced to postpone a second show in Sugar Land scheduled for Wednesday night.

'As some of you are aware, we postponed last night's show in San Antonio,' the 77-year-old guitarist's manager, Michael Vrionis, told The Post. 'Unfortunately, out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to also postpone this evening's show in Sugar Land.'
Santana's rep added that the musician 'experienced dehydration' before the show in San Antonio on Tuesday and was 'taken to the hospital to get checked out.' He is expected to return to his current Oneness Tour 2025 on Friday in Oklahoma.
'Carlos experienced dehydration yesterday and was taken to the hospital to get checked out,' he said. 'I am happy to report that Carlos is doing well and will be back on his US Tour this Friday in Thackerville, OK.'

'We appreciate everyone's well wishes and concern,' Vrionis added. 'Carlos is looking forward to seeing you all very soon.'
The 'Hope You're Feeling Better' guitarist first experienced dehydration while doing a sound check at The Majestic Theater in San Antonio on Tuesday. Santana was reportedly taken out on a gurney and put into an ambulance.
That night's show was ultimately postponed 'out of an abundance of caution' for the classic rock superstar.

'Mr. Santana was preparing for tonight's show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,' the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's manager told The Post at the time.
'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,' the rep added. 'He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon, as well as continuing his US tour.'
This would not be the first time Santana has postponed a series of shows due to troubles with his health.

The Woodstock legend previously postponed part of his residency at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas in January because of an 'accidental fall' at his home in Hawaii.
Prior to that incident, the 'Stone Flower' singer collapsed on stage during a performance in Michigan in 2022 due to heat exhaustion and dehydration.
Tuesday night's incident in San Antonio also came shortly after The Post's music critic, Chuck Arnold, interviewed Santana about his 'Supernatural' album sweeping the Grammy Awards 25 years ago.

The album won six awards in 2000, including: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
'I didn't have any expectations, but I had what I call 'willingness,'' he said of the historic night. 'I just opened my heart to manifest blessings and miracles.'
Santana added that it was 'really validating' to sweep the Grammy Awards for his album 'Supernatural.'
'It was really validating,' he said. 'All I could think about was being that kid from Mexico, and all I wanted to do was play with Michael Bloomfield and Jerry Garcia, and then to have the night unfold as it did was incredible. I know they were smiling down on me.'

Jack Draper, Jessica Pegula share funny post-match exchange at US Open: ‘Old married couple'
While Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula may have said all of four words to each other before teaming up for this week's U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament, the two already sound like an 'old married couple,' one reporter joked during a hilarious back-and-forth on Tuesday. Pegula and Draper were speaking with reporters after they had defeated Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva to advance to the semifinals. Draper was asked about his seriousness on the court during the matches and what it would mean to win, he replied that 'it would mean a lot' and that 'obviously it is like a bit of an exhibition format. It's nice to play with someone.' Advertisement Jessica Pegula of the US and Jack Draper of Britain confer during their first round mixed doubles match against Britain's Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain at the US Open on August 19, 2025. AFP via Getty Images That kicked off a funny exchange as Pegula jokingly admonished Draper for calling it an 'exhibition.' 'You shouldn't be saying that, but that's OK,' she said to him. The No. 5-ranked men's tennis player in the world was a bit confused at first, thinking that his comment about winning was what Pegula had first been referring to. Advertisement 'Yeah. It's not an exhibition. I know what you're saying,' she added. 'I'm hearing that a lot, it's a bit of an exhibition, a bit of fun, why am I so locked in,' Draper continued. 'It's a good opportunity to play, do well, get a lot of points in before next week, yeah. Like, I'm enjoying being locked in. I don't know why it's a crime to be locked in.' The moment amused Pegula as she jumped back in laughing as she said, 'No, it's fine. I'm just laughing at the 'exhibition' part.'

The pair certainly played like they've known each other for a long time as Pegula and Draper dispatched their first round opponents, 4-2, 4-2 and then sent their quarterfinal opponents home in quick order, 4-1,4-1.

Memoir from Oct. 7 hostage Eli Sharabi will reveal shocking abuse — and unimaginable news he learned after his release
The harrowing memoir of Eli Sharabi, who endured 491 days in Hamas captivity, will be released in English on October 7 — the second anniversary of the terror group's brutal 2023 attack on Israel. 'Hostage,' first published in Hebrew earlier this year, has become the fastest-selling book in Israeli history, offering a powerful firsthand account of Sharabi's kidnapping from Kibbutz Be'eri and the discovery that his wife and children had been killed. He endured starvation, isolation, beatings and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors. The Post can exclusively reveal the cover of the book, published by Harper Influence, an imprint of HarperCollins. Advertisement Until his release in February, Sharabi was fueled by the desire to be reunited with his British-born wife, Lianne, and daughters, Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13 — only to discover they had been killed by Hamas terrorists, and that his brother Yossi died in captivity. 7 Sharabi was held hostage by Hamas for almost 500 days. AP 7 Sharabi's captors shot his dog and killed his wife, Lianne (right), and teenage daughters Yahel (second from left) and Noiya. Instagram / @eli_is_home_bring_yossi_back Advertisement 'When I came back and hear that they were murdered five minutes after I was kidnapped, I can't understand the situation and I demand answers,' he told N12 in June. 'I want to see them, I want to hug them, I want to draw strength from them, I want to show them that I'm okay, that I'm no longer a poster.' 7 The publisher said the cover photo 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up.' Sharabi has said his time in Gaza was spent enduring Hamas' cruelty while 164 feet underground, his body wrapped in 'chains so tight, they ripped my skin,' alongside fellow hostages Alon Ohel and Or Levy. Advertisement He was emaciated and weighed a mere 97 pounds at the time of his release. Speaking before the UN Security Council in New York in March, Sharabi told world leaders that Hamas has ransacked the aid meant for hostages and Gaza's civilian population, enjoying the spoils while everyone around them suffers. 7 Sharabi was taken from his home at Kibbutz Be'eri, much of which was destroyed in the attacks. Getty Images 'Hamas eats like kings, while hostages starve,' said Sharabi, whose appearance shocked the world when he was released back in February. Advertisement Sharabi said Hamas would only give him 'a piece of pita' bread to eat, along with 'a sip of tea.' As he endured brutal beatings and relentless mockery from the terrorists, Sharabi said his will was nearly broken when Hamas terrorists laughed just before his release as they broke the news that his brother, Yossi, had been killed in captivity. 7 In front of the UN Security Council, Sharabi described being chained, beaten and starved by his captors. Getty Images 'It was like they brought a massive hammer down on me,' Sharabi told the UN. He was ultimately released as part of the first phase of a cease-fire deal that saw 29 other hostages and the bodies of eight Israelis returned to the country. 'I wrote the book to reach people, to give back, to show that no matter how difficult it is, you can always choose, no matter what cards life deals you, it is in your hands, always, in every moment, the choice to die, and the choice to live,' he previously said, according to the Jerusalem Post. 7 Sharabi (center, with his brother Sharon and a sister) was released in February along with two other hostages. He weighed less than 100 pounds. Israel Gpo/UPI/Shutterstock Advertisement 7 US President Trump compared Sharabi (second from left) and other former hostages to 'Holocaust survivors' after the trio was freed. Instagram / @ Harper Influencer publisher and SVP Lisa Sharkey said the picture on the front cover of the English version 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up. 'They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This photo of Eli Sharabi, moments before his release, looking frail, gaunt, starved, and deeply afraid, this picture shows the 491 days of heartbreak he spent in captivity, after being kidnapped by the Hamas terrorists who murdered his family on October 7,' she said.
