Carlos Santana Is Doing Well After Collapsing Onstage From Dehydration And Heat Exhaustion
Carlos Santana gave fans a scare last night when he collapsed on stage during a concert at the Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan. TMZ reports that the 74-year-old guitar legend passed out 4 or 5 songs into the show, right when he was about to play a song called, “Joy”. Apparently, Carlos realized something was off, sat down in front of the drums, and then collapsed backward. EMTs rushed to help, and staff blocked him from the audience with a large black tarp. Carlos managed to regain consciousness before he was taken to ER, and waved to fans as he was wheeled off the stage. Later, he took to Facebook to explain that he was doing well, he just “forgot to eat and drink water, so I dehydrated and passed out.” A rep told TMZ that Carlos was “overtaken by heat exhaustion and dehydration.” To quote the opening lines of the Santana and Rob Thomas 1999 mega-hit, Smooth, “man, it’s a hot one!” So, you know, stay hydrated.
Miley Cyrus, Santana, The Raconteurs And More Have Dropped Out Of Woodstock 50
In totally surprising news, multiple acts have pulled out of Woodstock 50. The music festival meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock, was hurtling towards disaster for quite some time before all the drama finally seemed to settle a mere weeks before it’s supposed to happen. Now that Woodstock 50 has decidedly become a free-ish concert in Maryland it’s time to see who the acts will be for the show since they have about 14 days to prepare now? Or 16 days, I guess, if you want to leave things to the very very very last minute. As expected, many of the headlining acts are dropping out of this concert faster than the Fyre Festival hemorrhaged money–and a whole bunch more are now reportedly out including Miley Cyrus and The Raconteurs.
