Carlos Santana has resumed touring. The renowned rocker returned to the stage in Connecticut on Friday, one month after fainting onstage in Michigan.
The week prior, the 75-year-old guitarist was captured grinning as he exited the Four Seasons in midtown Manhattan, before performing in Connecticut and at the Jones Beach Amphitheater on Long Island, New York.
The previous month Santana was forced to delay six dates of his "Miraculous Supernatural" 2022 Tour with Earth, Wind & Fire "out of an abundance of caution for [his] health," according to a statement from the musician's representative to Page Six.
The President of Universal Tone Management Michael Vrionis also published a statement at the time. "I regret to inform you that the Santana band has postponed tonight's show at Ruoff Music Center Noblesville, Indiana," he said.
"And, we are postponing the July 9 show at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; July 10 at American Family Insurance Amphitheater - Summerfest Grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; July 12 at Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, Arkansas; July 15 at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas, Texas; July 16 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodlands, Texas," Vrionis added.
Vrionis also revealed that the doctors have advised Mr. Santana to rest in order to recover completely. Carlos is said to be actually in good health and at the time, already eager to return to the stage but he was advised to rest.
Santana deeply regrets the postponing of his upcoming concerts; nonetheless, his health is our top priority. He anticipates seeing all of his admirers in the near future.
The legendary musician was carried off stage on a stretcher during his performance on July 5 due to heat exhaustion and dehydration. In 2021, he took a vacation from traveling in order to undergo heart surgery.
In an earlier interview, he revealed that he's not one to dwell on the past, no matter how glorious that era was. He's very present.
"I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists," shared Santana. "They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me. I don't wanna just go out and play Black Magic Woman and Oye Como Va all night because that was part of the Seventies, and my watch says it's 1988. So I wanna get into '88 and not look back."
The rocker is also proud of his ability to seamlessly integrate into so many distinct musical circles.
