Carlos Santana Collapses On Stage During Concert Due To ‘Serious Medical Issue’

Famed guitarist Carlos Santana collapsed on stage during his concert Tuesday night in Michigan, and the crowd was reportedly told to pray for the rock and roll star who was suffering from a “serious medical issue.”

The 74-year-old rocker took the stage in Clarkston, a suburb of Detroit, at the Pine Knob Music Festival, and while performing, suddenly collapsed to the floor, leaving fans wondering what had just occurred.

“#BREAKING: Carlos Santana just passed out on stage at ⁦@PineKnobMusic,” an anchor with Fox2 News, Roop Raj, tweeted Tuesday.

A video also surfaced on Twitter showing the performer waving to fans as he was being taken off the stage on what appeared to be a gurney. His condition was unclear, as a giant black sheet was held in front of him as he was removed from the stage.

The show in Michigan was part of the veteran guitarist’s summer-long “Miraculous Supernatural 2022” tour with Earth, Wind & Fire, which kicked off in June and is supposed to run through August, as Variety noted.

“The Black Magic Woman” hitmaker underwent what his management called an “unscheduled” heart procedure last year. No word yet if Tuesday night’s medical issue has any connection to the medical procedure from late last year.
