Days after legendary guitarist Carlos Santana collapsed onstage in Michigan due to dehydration, the band is postponing their next six shows out of an "abundance of caution." 

"Doctors have recommended that Mr. Santana gets rest to recuperate fully," Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis said in a statement Friday. 

The guitarist and his band Santana delayed a Friday night show in Noblesville, Indiana and upcoming shows in Cincinnati, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Rogers, Arkansas; Dallas Texas; and Woodlands, Texas, will also need to be rescheduled, a release on his website said. 

"Carlos is doing well and is anxious to be back on stage soon. He just needs rest," Vrionis added. "Santana profoundly regrets … these postponements of his upcoming performances; but, his health is our number one concern. He is looking forward to seeing all of his fans very soon."

His wife, Cindy Blackman, shared an update the next day, writing, "Please know that he’s resting and doing very well! He was diagnosed with heat exhaustion & dehydration … it was 100 degrees on stage and 114 under the lights so that coupled with not enough water is what caused the issue. He’ll be as good as new soon! Thank you again and we love you!"

The postponed shows run through July 16. The new concert dates will be announced by Live Nation soon, the release said.
