After Carlos Santana collapsed on stage Tuesday during his band’s concert in Clarkston, Michigan, the group immediately postponed the show scheduled for the next night in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
Now, the new date for the Burgettstown concert, which will be held at Star Lake Pavilion, has been confirmed for Friday, August 4.
While the original show was supposed to have featured Santana performing with Earth, Wind & Fire as part of their Miraculous Supernatural joint tour, the new date will just be a Santana concert. All tickets purchased for the June 6 date will be honored at the August 4 show.
On Wednesday, Carlos’ wife, Santana band drummer Cindy Blackman Santana, shared an update on her husband’s health via Facebook.
“Hi Everyone! Carlos & I thank you so much for your prayers, love, care & concern for him!” she wrote. “Please know that he’s resting and doing very well! He was diagnosed with heat exhaustion & dehydration…it was 100 degrees on stage and 114 under the lights so that coupled with not enough water is what caused the issue. He’ll be as good as new soon! Thank you again and we love you!”
The next Santana concert is scheduled for Friday, July 8 in Noblesville, Indiana and is slated to feature Earth, Wind & Fire.

Shawn Mendes‘ Wonder tour is about to make wishes come true.
Shawn has partnered with Disney+ as a tour sponsor and will be working with the streaming platform to “grant wishes to patients” by visiting children’s hospitals in the U.S., he wrote on Instagram.
He’s also planning to donate one dollar per ticket sold in North America towards the Shawn Mendes Foundation‘s “Wonder Grants” program, which he’ll award to one “youth changemaker” in every city the tour visits.
In addition, the Wonder tour will now include a Social Impact Village, that will allow fans to vote on what the Foundation should fund, register to vote, learn about actions they can take to battle climate change, and sign petitions on issues such as mental health equity and climate justice.
In a statement toVariety, Shawn says, “I’m beyond thankful to be partnering with Disney+ on my tour, and to continue my foundation’s efforts to provide grants to young changemakers who strive to change the world for the better.”
Thursday night, Shawn’s Wonder tour visits Winnipeg, and then travels to Saint Paul, MN on Saturday.
Disney+ is owned by Disney, parent company of ABC News.
The Gaslight Anthem has shared a new live video for the song “Howl,” recorded at the band’s surprise reunion show in June.
The concert was publicly billed as frontman Brian Fallon‘s solo show, but the other Gaslight members showed up on stage unannounced, marking the “45” outfit’s first official live performance together in four years.
You can watch the “Howl” video streaming now on YouTube.
Meanwhile, the entire reunion concert, which took place in Gaslight’s home state of New Jersey, is available to stream in full through Saturday, July 9.
Earlier this year in March, Gaslight announced that they were “returning to full time status as a band.” The group had previously announced a hiatus in 2015 and briefly reunited in 2018 for a run of shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of their beloved 2008 album, The ’59 Sound.
The reunion includes a full tour, kicking off in Europe in August before coming to the U.S. in September, and an upcoming album.
Charlie Puth first announced his third studio album, Charlie, in January — and, seven months later, we finally have a release date.
On Wednesday, the “Light Switch” singer posted an Instagram video letting fans know the countdown is officially on because the record arrives in two months. He also highlighted the numerous DMs, tweets, comments, podcast shoutouts and videos he received from exasperated fans demanding to know when the album arrives.
“My third album, Charlie, will be coming out everywhere October 7, 2022,” he declared. “Thank you so much for your patience.”
The Grammy nominee unveiled the official cover and tracklist of his third studio album on Thursday. Charlie, who is dressed in a white tank and black leather pants, leans on a white cube as the titles of his new songs — as well as mathematical equations and music signs — float over his head.
Among them are his previously released tracks “Light Switch,” “That’s Hilarious” and “Left and Right.” Other new titles include “Loser,” “Charlie B Quiet,” “Shhhhhhhhhhhh…,” “No More Drama,” “First Time For Everything,” “99,” “Metal Bang Whisper Snare,” “Marks on My Neck,” “What If There Was a Song That…” and more.
“This album was born on the internet, and I’ve had so much fun making it in front of all of you this past year. 2019 me used to think that in order to be an artist, you had to hide away and talk to nobody to make your art,” he wrote. “Turns out you make MUCH better art when you involve millions of people in the process. (For me at least.)”
He continued, “I hope you scream cry every word when I sing these songs on tour because they wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you.”
Metallica‘s “Master of Puppets” is the latest recipient of the coveted post-Stranger Things bump.
According to Billboard, the title track off the metal legends’ 1986 album has seen a 400% increase in streams since it was used in the season four finale of the Netflix sci-fi series.
While that certainly is a major bump, “Master of Puppets” still has a long way to go if it hopes to match the resurgence of Kate Bush‘s “Running Up That Hill,” which soared all the way to the top five of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 after its use in an earlier episode of Stranger Things’ fourth season.
Metallica previously commented on Stranger Things‘ use of “Master of Puppets,” which is heard during a significant scene involving the Dungeons and Dragons-loving character Eddie Munson, sharing that they were “beyond psyched” about the song’s placement.
“We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did we were totally blown away,” they said.
Meanwhile, Metallica took to TikTok to defend any newcomers who might’ve just discovered the band’s music through Stranger Things, declaring, “FYI — EVERYONE is welcome in the Metallica Family.”
Ciara and Russell Wilson have passed the six-year mark in their marriage!
Ciara commemorated the milestone in a heartfelt Instagram post with an accompanying video featuring sweet moments of the pair that was soundtracked to Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon in the Sky.”
“Doing life with you has been everything I’ve hoped for, dreamt of, and more,” the singer wrote in the caption. “It’s the best feeling in the world waking up to you everyday. I’m a better woman because of you. There is absolutely nothing I wouldn’t do for you. Happy Anniversary Mi Amore. My Best Friend. I love you so much @DangeRussWilson.”
She concluded, “God is Good! Year 6. Forever to Go.”
In the comment section, the NFL star responded to his wife’s note, expressing the “joy” he has for her and their three children.
“Mrs. Wilson. You have filled my heart with joy since the moment I met you,” he wrote. “Loving you and Future, Sienna, and Win is the greatest blessing and gift ever. Cheers to Year 6. Cheers to Love. Cheers to Us. Mi Amore.”
The couple married on July 6, 2016, four months after Wilson proposed in March. “We are the Wilsons,” they each wrote on social media, confirming their union.
Wilson then made another proposal to the “Level Up” singer when she guest hosted the Ellen Degeneres Show in March this year, asking his wife if she was willing to have another baby.
“I have a question for you. Serious question,” Wilson started. “Can we have more babies?” Ciara laughed as her husband continued, “I mean, it would be perfect. Just give me one more at least.”

Earlier this week, Olivia Rodrigo, who’s on a U.K. tour, decided to hit up a bar in Manchester to perform an impromptu rendition of “Torn,” a hit for Natalie Imbruglia in 1998. Thursday night in London, she sang the song again — with Natalie herself.
Billboard reports that during Olivia’s show at the Eventim Apollo, Natalie joined Olivia onstage to sing the song as the crowd shouted along to every word. You can watch fan-shot video of the moment on YouTube.
“Torn” was first recorded in Danish by Lis Sørensen, and then in English in 1994 by the band Ednaswap. It was recorded a third time in 1996 by a singer named Trine Rein. When Natalie released it as her debut single in 1997, it went on to become a worldwide smash, selling more than four million copies.
Bringing guests onstage has become somewhat of a thing for Olivia during her SOUR tour. So far, she’s been joined onstage at various times by Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette, and U.K. singer Lily Allen.
Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole,are brand-new parents to a baby boy, and they’re soaking up the newborn life.
Nicole shared a sweet snapshot of their home life on social media, posing with three-week-old Tex Lawrence in a black-and-white shot. The photo shows Tex’s full head of dark hair, as Nicole holds him up to her face and smiles down at him.
“Wishing I could bottle up these days,” Nicole wrote in the caption of her post. “Minus this whole no sleep thing…”
Luke and Nicole welcomed baby Tex, the country superstar’s first child, on Father’s Day, June 19. Before his arrival, Nicole offered some insight into her pregnancy experience — including the difficult process of selecting her son’s name.
“Picking a boy name was EXTREMELY difficult for us,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories, as part of a fan Q&A, during her final weeks of pregnancy. “It’s a family name, but also pretty unique, I think.”
It’s been a busy few weeks for Luke and not just on the home life front: He also put out a new album, called Growin’ Up, in late June.

Manny Charlton, founding guitarist of the Scottish rock band Nazareth, has died, according to a Facebook post from his grandson. A cause of death was not given. Charlton was 80.
Charlton was Nazareth’s guitarist, producer and co-songwriter from 1968 to 1990, and played on the band’s most successful albums, including 1975’s Hair of the Dog, which was RIAA-certified Platinum in the U.S. and featured the group’s biggest hit, a cover of “Love Hurts,” originally made famous by The Everly Brothers in 1960.
Charlton produced Guns N’ Roses‘ early demos, but bowed out of producing their debut album due to commitments with Nazareth. The album, ultimately recorded with producer Mike Clink, went on to sell an estimated 30 million copies globally and became the biggest-selling debut of all time. GN’R recorded “Hair of the Dog” for their 1993 all-covers album, The Spaghetti Incident?
After Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover produced several early Nazareth albums, Charlton took over for Hair of the Dog, and remained the band’s producer until 1983, a period during which they released some 17 studio albums.
Charlton went on to release numerous solo projects, including 2014’s Hellacious, which featured guest appearances from original GN’R drummer Steven Adler, as well as Def Leppard/Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell, Vanilla Fudge‘s Tim Bogert and others.
