CARLOS SANTANA COLLAPSES IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS CONCERT

Carlos Santana Collapses Onstage Due to ‘Medical Emergency’
July 6, 2022
Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana collapsed onstage tonight (July 5) during a performance at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Michigan.
The rocker was approximately 55 minutes into the show when he began to introduce “Joy,” a collaboration with Chris Stapleton that was released on 2021’s Blessings and Miracles.
After describing the song as “mystical medicine music to heal a world infected with fear,” Santana and his namesake band launched into the tune. The guitarist then walked over to a riser, sat down and appeared to pass out.
The show was immediately stopped as he was attended to by medical staff. At one point, a curtain was placed onstage to hide the guitarist from the crowd's view.
After several minutes, a crew member came on stage and addressed the audience.
“Ladies and gentlemen as you can see have a severe medical emergency," the staff member explained. "Let’s share our prayers… We need it right now… Please send your light and love to this man.”
About 20 minutes after the collapse, Santana was seen being wheeled offstage in a stretcher.
