Patti Smith Says She's "Fine" After "Post-Migraine Dizziness" Forces Her to End Show Early
Briefly

After Patti Smith collapsed on stage in São Paulo, Brazil, she reassured fans that she is fine, citing post-migraine dizziness as the cause. Smith fell while discussing climate change at the Cultura Artística Theater, leading her to end the show early. After being examined by a doctor, she returned to apologize and briefly performed. Smith emphasized that the incident was blown out of proportion by the media, reassuring everyone that her health is stable despite the incident’s visibility.
I was checked out by an excellent doctor and was absolutely fine. Please do not accept any other story. With all the strife in the world, this explainable incident does not merit so much attention.
Unfortunately, I got sick, and the doctor said I can't finish. So we will have to figure something out. And I feel very badly.
Patti says that she is tremendously grateful for your patience and forgiveness and she sends her love to all who attended.
A grossly exaggerated account is being spread by the press and social media. I had some post migraine dizziness. Had a small incident, left the stage.
