Carlos Santana has postponed his Tuesday night performance at San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre as gossip site TMZ reports the legendary rock guitarist was hospitalized for a medical emergency.

Officials with the Majestic confirmed the concert’s postponement shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday but offered no further details. 

Citing an unnamed representative for Santana, TMZ reports the musician suffered a medical issue during Tuesday’s soundcheck — likely dehydration — and was taken to a hospital by ambulance for tests. The 77-year-old also collapsed due to dehydration while playing a 2022 concert, according to the article.

In an emailed statement, Santana manager Michael Vrionis confirmed the guitarist was taken in for observation after experiencing what was determined to be dehydration.

“Out of an abundance of caution [for] the health of Mr. Santana, the decision to postpone the show was the most prudent course of action,” Vrionis said. “He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his U.S. Tour. Thank you all very much for your understanding. The show will be rescheduled soon.”

Vrionis urged concertgoers to hang onto their tickets, adding that the tour would get out word on a rescheduled date as quickly as possible.

Santana is currently on the road for the Oneness Tour, which is expected to include U.S. and European tour dates through the summer, according to the performer’s website. In the fall, he’s expected to return to his Las Vegas residency.
