Carlos Santana recently collapsed onstage during a Michigan show; his reps blamed heat exhaustion and dehydration, but fans were understandably in a worrisome state.
Good news is that the 75-year-old guitar legend—who’s headed to Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday, Aug. 27—seems to have healed up, and after a two-year delay, will finally fulfill plans to close his Miraculous Supernatural 2022 tour with Earth, Wind & Fire at the ol’ Gary.
After this gig, it’s off to Vegas for Santana, who is set to hold down residencies at the House of Blues this fall. Mr. “Oye Como Va” better drink a lot of water at this one as high temps could hit 89 degrees.
