During the song Joy, Carlos Santana sat down in front of the drums and then collapsed backwards.
The band stopped and a black tarpaulin was brought in to shield the musician as staffers rushed to his aid.
“He kind of sat down by the drums and fell backwards and then all hell broke loose on stage,” one audience member told the Free Press.
“He was soaked, he was drenched the whole time.”
After medical personnel arrived, the venue’s house lights were turned on and everyone was told to leave around 10.30pm.
“A lot of people started to scream, ‘we’re praying for you, Carlos!’,” journalist and audience member Jo-Ann Barnas said.
“You’re alright Carlos, we’re here for you Carlos.”
Barnas said it was a hot evening but she had not seen any signs that Santana was in distress before he collapsed.
“Carlos was on fire,” she said.
“He had just performed a solo before that and he was great.”
The musician was conscious as he was taken offstage, even waving to fans, according to Variety.
He was taken to hospital for evaluation and later posted a message to social media thanking fans for their concern.
“To one and all, thank you for your precious prayers,” he posted to Facebook.
“(Wife) Cindy and I, we are good just taking it easy.
“Forgot to eat and drink water, so I dehydrated and passed out.
“Blessings and miracles to you all.”
Earlier, his management posted a statement confirming the musician had been “overtaken by heat exhaustion” during the Tuesday night concert.
“Carlos was taken to the emergency department at McLaren Clarkston for observation and is doing well,” the statement read.
Santana were due to play on Wednesday night in Pennsylvania but that show has been cancelled.
