Hall of Famer Carlos Santana collapses onstage during Michigan concert

Carlos Santana collapsed onstage last night (July 5th) while performing in Independence Township, Michigan at the famed Pine Knob Music Theatre.

Ultimate Classic Rock reported: "The rocker was approximately 55 minutes into the show when he began to introduce 'Joy,' a collaboration with Chris Stapleton that was released on 2021’s Blessings And Miracles. After describing the song as 'mystical medicine music to heal a world infected with fear,' Santana and his namesake band launched into the tune. The guitarist then walked over to a riser, sat down and appeared to pass out. The show was immediately stopped as he was attended to by medical staff. At one point, a curtain was placed onstage to hide the guitarist from the crowd's view."

A crew member explained to the crowd that the guitarist was dealing with a "severe medical emergency," before asking the crowd for their prayers and well wishes. 20 minutes after the collapse, Santana was seen being wheeled off the stage in a stretcher.
