Santana and earth wind and fire tour

I’ve seen a lot of concerts so far this summer, including artists like Death Cab for Cutie, Def Leppard and New Kids On The Block. And each of them has had something to really enjoy.

But two legendary groups performed in Hershey on Aug. 6, and they set a very high bar for the other artists on tour this year. One that I don’t think other artists are likely to top.

Bad news for Carlos Santana and Earth Wind & Fire fans. The famed guitarist and the legendary band have canceled three more tour dates after the former's health scare over the past few months.

According to the Journal Sentinel, the musician announced the shocking news online, saying they will no longer perform in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Arkansas.

"Unfortunately, we were not able to reschedule the shows in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Rogers and regret to inform of their cancellation. Ticketholders for those shows will receive an email directly from their point of purchase," the statement reads on Santana's official website.

This was not the first time Santana canceled a show in Milwaukee as he was supposed to perform at the Milwaukee World Festival's amphitheater for the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

However, the show got canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was set to return to the state on July 10 for a scheduled show, but he passed out during a July 5 performance, leading him and the band to cancel several dates.

As of this writing, there are no updates if he's going to re-schedule the canceled dates, but the outlet noted that his canceled Dallas and Houston appearances have been moved to 2023.

In early reports, the legendary artist suffered heat exhaustion and dehydration while performing at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston outside Detroit, Michigan.

He was taken to the hospital to recover.

Michael Vrionis, his manager, issued a statement at the time, saying Santana was doing well but was anxious to perform again.

"He just needs rest, doctors have recommended that Mr. Santana gets rest to recuperate fully," he said. (via ABC News)

Following this, he canceled his performances in several cities like Rogers, Woodlands, Cincinnati, Noblesville, and many more.

The guitarist returned to the stage on July 23 in Paso Robles, California.

In other updates, Earth Wind & Fire announced a few months ago that they will be performing 62 scheduled shows throughout, 29 of which includes Santana and his band.

According to their official website, their next show will be at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, on August 9.

Following this, they will visit several cities in the US for a solo tour including Kansas City, Corpus Christi, Sugar Land, North Little, New Orleans, Tallahassee, Fort Myers, St. Augustine, North Charleston, and many more.

The 2020 GRAMMYs are just around the corner, and now the nominations are in for the coveted honor of Best Rap Album. While we'll have to wait until the 62nd GRAMMY Awards air on CBS on Jan. 26 to find out who will win, let's take a look at which albums have been nominated for Best Rap Album.

Revenge of the Dreamers III – Dreamville                                                                        

This star-studded compilation album from 11-time GRAMMY nominee J. Cole and his Dreamville Records imprint features appearances from some of the leading and fastest-rising artists in hip-hop today, including label artists EARTHGANG, J.I.D, and Ari Lennox, plus rappers T.I, DaBaby, and Young Nudy, among many others. Recorded in Atlanta across a 10-day recording session, Revenge of the Dreamers III is an ambitious project that saw more than 300 artists and producers contribute to the album, resulting in 142 recorded tracks. Of those recordings, 18 songs made the final album, which ultimately featured contributions from 34 artists and 27 producers.

Dreamers III, the third installment in the label’s Revenge of the Dreamers compilation series, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and achieved gold status this past July. In addition to a Best Rap Album nod, Dreamers III is also nominated for Best Rap Performance next year for album track “Down Bad,” featuring J.I.D, Bas, J. Cole, EARTHGANG, and Young Nudy.

Championships – Meek Mill

In many ways, Championships represents a literal and metaphorical homecoming for Meek Mill. Released in November 2018, Championships is the Philadelphia rapper’s first artist album following a two-year prison sentence he served after violating his parole in 2017. Championships, naturally, sees Meek tackling social justice issues stemming from his prison experience, including criminal justice reform. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, his second chart-topper following 2015’s Dreams Worth More Than Money, and reached platinum status in June 2019. Meek Mill's 2020 Best Rap Album nod marks his first-ever GRAMMY nomination.

i am > i was – 21 Savage

Breakout rapper and four-time GRAMMY nominee 21 Savage dropped i am > i was, his second solo artist album, at the end of 2018. The guest-heavy album, which features contributions from Post Malone, Childish Gambino, J. Cole, and many others, has since charted around the world, topped the Billboard 200 – a first for the artist – in the beginning of 2019, and achieved gold status in the U.S. As well, nine songs out of the album’s 15 original tracks landed on the Hot 100 chart, including multi-platinum lead single “A Lot,” which is also nominated for Best Rap Song next year. 21 Savage’s 2020 Best Rap Album nomination, which follows Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance nods for his 2017 Post Malone collaboration, "Rockstar,” marks his first solo recognition in the top rap category.

IGOR – Tyler, The Creator

The eccentric Tyler, The Creator kicked off a massive 2019 with his mid-year album, IGOR. Released this past May, IGOR, Tyler’s fifth solo artist album, is his most commercially successful project to date. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his first time topping the coveted chart, while its lead single, "Earfquake,” peaked at No. 13, his highest entry on the Hot 100. Produced in full by Tyler and featuring guest spots from fellow rap and R&B stars Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, Solange, and Playboi Carti, among many others, IGOR follows the rapper’s 2017 album, Flower Boy, which received the Best Rap Album nod that same year.

The Lost Boy – YBN Cordae

Emerging rapper YBN Cordae, a member of the breakout YBN rap collective, released his debut album, The Lost Boy, to widespread critical acclaim this past July. The 15-track release is stacked with major collaborations with hip-hop heavyweights, including Anderson .Paak, Pusha T, Meek Mill, and others, plus production work from J. Cole and vocals from Quincy Jones. After peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, The Lost Boy now notches two 2020 GRAMMY nominations: Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for album track “Bad Idea,” featuring Chance the Rapper.
