Carlos Santana collapsed on stage during a concert in Michigan, on Tuesday, July 5.
The Grammy-winning guitarist and longtime Bay Area resident was about an hour into his performance at the Pine Knob Music Theatre, an outdoor amphitheater outside of Detroit, when he suffered a medical emergency, according to multiple reports.
Santana was introducing the song “Joy,” from his 2021 album “Blessings and Miracles,” shortly before he passed out, describing the song as “mystical medicine music to heal a world infected with fear.”
Medical staff rushed to the stage and covered the 74-year-old guitarist with a tarp before wheeling him off after about 20 minutes of rendering first aid. The show was canceled.
“Ladies and gentlemen as you can we see have a severe medical emergency,” the venue staff announced to the audience. “Let’s share our prayers … We need it right now … Please send your light and love to this man.”
