A legendary musician collapsed mid-performance during a show in Brazil, leaving fans shocked and concerned for her wellbeing. Patti Smith fell at the Teatro Cultura ArtÃstica in São Paulo, reportedly hitting her head on the floor. The incident occurred after the music icon had complained of severe migraines earlier in the day.
The venue quickly reassured fans, confirming that Patti had felt dizzy while performing and was receiving care from doctors. A statement read: “She is being closely monitored by top medical staff.”
In a courageous move, the star returned to the stage shortly after, performing her iconic hit Because the Night, a moment described by the venue as unforgettable for all those present.
The punk rock legend is set to perform again tonight at the same venue with the experimental group Soundwalk Collective. They posted on Instagram: “Patti is extremely grateful for your patience and love and sends her thanks to everyone who attended.”
