Carlos Santana talks about last year's collapse on stage: 'I just ran out of batteries'

DETROIT — The last time Carlos Santana played Pine Knob Music Theatre, things didn't go exactly as planned.

The legendary guitarist was performing at the Clarkston, Michigan, amphitheater last July when, nine songs into his set, he collapsed on stage. His concert was abruptly halted as he was rushed to the emergency room at McLaren Clarkston, where he was treated for exhaustion and dehydration.

He was released later that night, and both Santana and his wife, Cindy, posted messages on social media thanking fans for their support. After shelving several concerts and taking time to recuperate, he was back on stage two and a half weeks later, and the 10-time Grammy winner has been running on all cylinders ever since.
