Carlos Santana postpones another Texas show after being hospitalized for ‘medical emergency’



Hope you’re feeling better.

Carlos Santana has postponed another Texas concert after he was rushed to the hospital for a “medical emergency” on Tuesday, The Post can confirm.

Although the “Evil Ways” musician is said to be “doing well” following Tuesday’s incident in San Antonio, he was forced to postpone a second show in Sugar Land scheduled for Wednesday night.

“As some of you are aware, we postponed last night’s show in San Antonio,” the 77-year-old guitarist’s manager, Michael Vrionis, told The Post. “Unfortunately, out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to also postpone this evening’s show in Sugar Land.”

Santana’s rep added that the musician “experienced dehydration” before the show in San Antonio on Tuesday and was “taken to the hospital to get checked out.” He is expected to return to his current Oneness Tour 2025 on Friday in Oklahoma.

“Carlos experienced dehydration yesterday and was taken to the hospital to get checked out,” he said. “I am happy to report that Carlos is doing well and will be back on his US Tour this Friday in Thackerville, OK.”

“We appreciate everyone’s well wishes and concern,” Vrionis added. “Carlos is looking forward to seeing you all very soon.”

The “Hope You’re Feeling Better” guitarist first experienced dehydration while doing a sound check at The Majestic Theater in San Antonio on Tuesday. Santana was reportedly taken out on a gurney and put into an ambulance.

That night’s show was ultimately postponed “out of an abundance of caution” for the classic rock superstar.

“Mr. Santana was preparing for tonight’s show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,” the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s manager told The Post at the time.

“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,” the rep added. “He is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon, as well as continuing his US tour.”

This would not be the first time Santana has postponed a series of shows due to troubles with his health.

The Woodstock legend previously postponed part of his residency at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas in January because of an “accidental fall” at his home in Hawaii.

Prior to that incident, the “Stone Flower” singer collapsed on stage during a performance in Michigan in 2022 due to heat exhaustion and dehydration. 

Tuesday night’s incident in San Antonio also came shortly after The Post’s music critic, Chuck Arnold, interviewed Santana about his “Supernatural” album sweeping the Grammy Awards 25 years ago.

The album won six awards in 2000, including: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

“I didn’t have any expectations, but I had what I call ‘willingness,’” he said of the historic night. “I just opened my heart to manifest blessings and miracles.”

Santana added that it was “really validating” to sweep the Grammy Awards for his album “Supernatural.”

“It was really validating,” he said. “All I could think about was being that kid from Mexico, and all I wanted to do was play with Michael Bloomfield and Jerry Garcia, and then to have the night unfold as it did was incredible. I know they were smiling down on me.”
