Live tweeting from the concert, Billboard writer Gary Graff first reported that Santana had “just collapsed onstage” and was “being treated as I type.” Twenty minutes later, the guitarist has carried off the stage and brought to a hospital, according to a tweet from Graff.

At 10 p.m. local time, according to authorities, Santana was onstage with medical personnel. They asked fans to pray for Santana at the show.

According to former Detroit Free Press reporter Jo-Ann Barnas, even though the audience was asked to leave at 10:30 p.m., many people stayed because they were still in disbelief by the incident.

Santana was playing his song “Joy,” which features Chris Stapleton when he passed out, a concertgoer also claimed to The Detroit News. He was moving around and having fun when suddenly he collapsed, according to Janet Brown, a witness.

As part of his Miraculous Supernatural 2022 tour, Santana gave a concert there alongside Earth, Wind, and Fire, and other legendary musicians. His most recent studio album, Blessings, and Miracles was released last year, and the series of concerts is meant to promote it.

The health concern follows Santana’s “unscheduled cardiac treatment” in December of last year, which resulted in the cancellation of many of his Las Vegas performances.

In a video statement shared on Twitter, the Grammy winner addressed the issue head-on and informed followers that he underwent treatment as a result of chest problems.

In the video at the time, Santana remarked, “There have been rumors flying around here and there about this and that, so I’m here to just crystallize and make it plain.” “Last Saturday, I had an event when I requested that my wife Cindy drive me to the hospital since I was experiencing some sort of chest pain.”

He went on, “We discovered that I needed to take care of it when we arrived there. So I am and I will be taking a short break to make sure I refuel, rest, and catch up on my health so that when I play for you, I will play the way I normally play and give you everything I have.”

Santana informed his supporters, “I wouldn’t show up until I could do it. Before starting his tour in March, Santana performed at each of his rescheduled gigs in January, according to Variety.
