Music legend Carlos Santana is set to become the latest celebrity preacher after revealing he wants to start his own church on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Following in the footsteps of stars like Al Green and rapper Joseph 'Revd. Run' Simmons, the guitar great wants to preach the good work of the Lord in paradise. He says, "I want to live in Maui five to seven years from now and start a small church. I believe God wants me to be a minister, a preacher." And the Smooth hitmaker insists the 'Church Of Santana' will welcome all faiths: "It will be non-denominational and purely about spirit, where everything merges... We won't leave anybody out."
