Concern in the United States:

Renowned guitarist Carlos Santana fainted during a performance tonight (Wednesday) at a music festival held in the state of Michigan.

According to records circulated on social media, the veteran musician is evacuated from the stage while sitting in a wheelchair while waving to an audience present at the venue.

Santana's executives, who will be celebrating his 75th birthday in two weeks, said the fainting was caused by "dehydration and heat exhaustion" and that he was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.

"His condition is fine, but we will have to postpone the show that was supposed to take place on Wednesday night in Pennsylvania to another date."

The American magazine Variety reported that about 20 minutes after the beginning of the performance of the legendary Mexican-American musician, he sat down on a drum lift that was on stage - and then fell backwards.

The medical staff at the scene was rushed to the stage to treat him, and the audience was even asked to "pray for him due to a serious medical condition."

As mentioned, Santana eventually evacuates as he waves to the crowd, who are sure to breathe a sigh of relief.

It should be noted that last December Santana underwent what was defined by his management team as an "unplanned medical procedure related to the heart", which caused him to have to postpone his appearances that month.

He returned to performing as usual as early as January and even launched in March a new tour in North America.

Concurrent with the current tour, Santana is currently working on a documentary about him.

Since bursting into consciousness as the leader of the band bearing his name in 1969, the musician has sold more than 100 million copies of his albums and won no less than 10 Grammy Awards, 8 of them as a member of his band and two for his solo career.

The band's latest album, "Blessings And Miracles", was released in October 2021.
