Carlos Santana Puts Texas Show on Pause After Dehydration Scare

Carlos Santana had to call off his Tuesday night concert in San Antonio after being hospitalized for dehydration, according to his representatives. The 77-year-old guitar legend was preparing at the Majestic Theatre when he experienced health issues and was taken in for observation. Out of caution, his team decided to postpone the show, emphasizing that Santana is recovering well and already plotting his return. San Antonio fans, keep those tickets handy—the show will be rescheduled soon.

This concert was part of Santana’s ongoing "Oneness Tour," and while San Antonio missed out, he’s still set to perform in Sugar Land, Texas, Thackerville, Oklahoma, and Tulsa later this week. Busy schedule for someone who’s been rocking since Woodstock, right?

Just a day earlier, Santana thanked Albuquerque fans for braving the cold and rain during his Monday concert, calling them "warriors of light." Santana’s gratitude for his audience is as legendary as his solos.

This isn’t the first bump in the road for the Hall of Fame guitarist this year. Back in January, Santana postponed his Las Vegas residency after an accidental fall at his Hawaii home left him with a broken pinky finger. Surgery and a few pins later, he was forced off the stage for about six weeks, but doctors expect a full recovery. The residency is now scheduled for September, once the tour wraps up.

And if you’re keeping score, Santana also had to cancel shows in 2022 after collapsing from heat exhaustion—a reminder that even music icons aren’t immune to the tolls of the road.

Despite these setbacks, Santana’s team reassures fans that he’s eager to get back on stage. Health comes first, but you can bet he’ll be back, guitar in hand, before you know it.
