Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana was hospitalised in San Antonio, Texas, on April 22, 2025, due to dehydration, hours before a scheduled performance at the Majestic Theatre. The concert was postponed, and Santana is under medical observation but reported doing well.
During soundcheck preparations, Santana experienced dehydration symptoms, prompting his team to transport him to a local hospital via ambulance. Manager Michael Vrionis stated, “Out of caution for Mr. Santana’s health, postponing the show was the most prudent action.” The venue confirmed the rescheduling, advising ticket holders to retain their tickets for the new date.
