The musician also took to Facebook to thank fans for their support and well-wishes.

“Thank you for your precious prayers. Cindy [Santana’s wife Cindy Blackman] and I are good, just taking it easy. Forgot to eat and drink water, so I was dehydrated and passed out. Blessings and miracles to you all,” the 74-year-old musician wrote in his post.

Santana’s rise to fame began in the 1960s with his band Santana that mixed both rock and Latin jazz. As a solo artist, he is best known for his 1999 song “Smooth” which featured Matchbox Twenty lead singer Rob Thomas, as well as the hit single “Maria Maria” featuring R&B duo the Product G&B.
