Santana issued a message to the fans via social media a short time later, saying "Thank you for your precious prayers. Cindy (Blackman / wife and drummer) and I are good just taking it easy. Forgot to eat and drink water, so I dehydrated and passed out. Blessings and miracles to you all."

In a statement shared with People  on Friday, July 8th,  Michael Vrionis, the president of Universal Tone Management, said Santana is pushing back six shows "Out of an abundance of caution for the artist's health." 

Vrionis' initial statement was as follows: "I regret to inform you that the Santana band has postponed tonight’s show at Ruoff Music Center, Noblesville, Indiana. And, we are postponing the July 9 show at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; July 10 at American Family Insurance Amphitheater – Summerfest Grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; July 12 at Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, Arkansas; July 15 at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas, Texas; July 16 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodlands, Texas.” 

"Doctors have recommended that Mr. Santana gets rest to recuperate fully. He is doing well and is anxious to be back on stage. He just needs to rest. Santana profoundly regrets that 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."
