Patti Smith collapsed on stage in Brazil mid-performance, stunning the audience. The 78-year-old music legend was performing with the Berlin-based Soundwalk Collective group at Sao Paulo’s Cultura Artística Theater when the health scare occurred. Reports from local news outlet, Folha de S.Paulo, indicate that the incident happened while she was reading a statement about climate change.
After the collapse, Patti was taken backstage for medical attention. She later returned to the stage in a wheelchair to address the crowd and apologize for cutting the show short. She expressed her regret, stating, “Unfortunately, I got sick, and the doctor said I can’t finish. So we’ll have to figure something out. And I feel very badly.”
Soundwalk Collective, in an Instagram Story, revealed that Patti had been dealing with severe migraines and started feeling dizzy on stage during the performance. They reassured fans that she was receiving care from the best doctors in a loving manner.
Despite the scare, the group assured fans that Patti was doing okay and would be back on stage for the next performance. The incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of health and the importance of taking care of oneself, even in the midst of a demanding schedule.
