The Grammy Award winner, 74, was performing at the outdoor Pine
Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan when the incident
happened. A statement on his website said he was taken to the
emergency department at McLaren Clarkston medical centre for
observation and was doing well.
"To one and all, thank you for your precious prayers. Cindy and
I we are good just taking it easy," Santana wrote on his
Facebook page, referring to his wife, drummer Cindy Blackman.
"Forgot to eat and drink water so I dehydrated and passed out,
blessings and miracles to you all."
Footage from the concert showed medical personnel and other crew
huddled around Santana on stage.
The statement quoted Santana's manager, Michael Vrionis, as
saying the guitarist's show on Wednesday in Burgettstown,
Pennsylvania would be postponed to a later date.
Known for hits like "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va",
Mexican-born Santana, who rose to fame in the late 1960s with
his band Santana, is currently on his "Miraculous Supernatural
2022 Tour".
