Published
Patti Smith collapsed on stage in Brazil mid-performance — and she later rolled back out in a wheelchair to let the crowd know she had to cut the rest of the show short.
The 78-year-old music legend experienced the health scare 30 minutes into her performance at Sao Paulo’s Cultura Artística Theater with the Berlin-based Soundwalk Collective group… and according to local news outlet, Folha de S.Paulo, it happened while she was reading a statement about climate change.

Patti was taken backstage, but later returned in a wheelchair to apologize … saying, “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 shared on their IG Story that Patti had been battling severe migraines recently and started feeling dizzy on stage during her performance — but was now being cared for by the “best doctors in the most loving way.”
The group assured fans that Patti was A-OK and would be back onstage tonight.
