Santana later wrote on his Facebook page that he forgot to eat and drink water, and as a result became dehydrated and passed out.

His manager Michael Vrionis said the musician was now doing well. However, he added that a show scheduled for Wednesday in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, will be postponed to a later date. Footage has surfaced on social media showing Santana being helped offstage at Clarkson's Pine Knob musical theater. In the video, the star greeted the audience as he left on a stretcher. His representatives said the cause was "heat and dehydration".
