NEW
YORK (AP) — Carlos Santana has postponed a second Texas concert
after testing positive for COVID-19.
The guitar virtuoso's official Facebook page said he is
scrubbing Thursday night's stop on his Oneness Tour at Smart
Financial Center in Sugar Land, Texas and will rest at his
hotel. He previously postponed a Tuesday night concert at the
Majestic Theatre in San Antonio.
His manager, Michael Vrionis, initially said the 77-year-old
Santana was suffering from dehydration in an email to The
Associated Press, and later provided the update after the COVID
diagnosis, saying the second show would be postponed out of
caution.
The tour, which began April 16 in Highland, California, is
expected to resume with a Friday night concert in Thackerville,
Oklahoma, and a Saturday show in Tulsa.
The canceled Texas dates will be rescheduled as soon as
possible.
“We appreciate everyone’s well wishes and concern,” the Facebook
statement said. “Carlos is looking forward to seeing you all
very soon. Please hang onto your tickets.”
Next week, Santana is scheduled to perform in Nashville and at
the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival before heading to Las
Vegas for his “An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits
Live” residency.
Earlier this month, Santana told the AP that fans could expect
“a whole lot of energy and freshness and high consciousness and
hope and courage” from his Oneness Tour.
