NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Santana was forced to postpone a concert at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio on Tuesday night.
The guitar virtuoso’s Oneness Tour kicked off April 16 in Highland, California, at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel.
Santana was suffering from dehydration, according to a statement that Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis provided to The Associated Press.
“Mr. Santana was at the venue (Majestic Theatre) preparing for tonight’s show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,” Vrionis said in the statement. “Out of an abundance of caution and the health of Mr. Santana, the decision to postpone the show was the most prudent course of action.”
Vrionis continued: “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.”
Santana is still scheduled to perform in Sugar Land, Texas, on Wednesday night, in Thackerville, Oklahoma, on Friday and Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
Next week, he is scheduled to perform in Nashville and at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival before heading to Las Vegas for his “An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live” residency.
Earlier this month, Santana told the AP that fans could expect “a whole lot of energy and freshness and high consciousness and hope and courage” from his Oneness Tour.
