The show is the latest stop for Santana in his Miraculous Supernatural 2022 tour alongside Earth, Wind and Fire.

According to Fox Detroit reported Roop Raj, the crowd was asked to pray for Santana, though the exact nature of his medical situation was not disclosed at the time. Later, his management company confirmed on Facebook the performer had been “over-taken by heat exhaustion and dehydration.”

Detroit News reported that Santana was performing his song “Joy” when he passed out. Shortly after, the lights dimmed and the audience was informed the performance was over.

Santana, 74, had heart surgery in December, 2021, forcing him cancel several shows.
