Santana’s Wednesday show at the Pavilion at Star Lake has been postponed after the group’s leader, Carlos Santana, collapsed onstage Tuesday in Michigan.
The 74-year-old musician was hospitalized with heat exhaustion and dehydration. A representative told USA Today that Santana is being held for observation and is doing well.
The concert has been rescheduled for Aug. 4, although original opener Earth, Wind & Fire will not be a part of the new date.
Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis updated fans on the artist’s official Facebook page Tuesday, explaining Santana had been transported from the Pine Knob Music Theatre, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit, to the emergency department at McLaren Clarkston in Clarkston, Mich.
The show in Pittsburgh — co-billed with Earth, Wind & Fire as the Miraculous Supernatural Tour — will be rescheduled to a later date and more details will be available through Live Nation, Vrionis said.
It’s the second time the show has been postponed. The two acts were set to play Star Lake on Aug. 5, 2020, but that tour was canceled because of covid.
Santana sent a message to fan early Wednesday morning via social media, posting “To one and all, Thank you for your precious prayers. Cindy and I we are good just taking it easy, forgot to eat and drink water so I dehydrated and passed out, blessings and miracles to you all,” he wrote.
