Patti Smith collapsed onstage while performing in Brazil on Wednesday, Jan. 29. She later told fans she was "absolutely fine."

Singer Patti Smith collapsed during a presentation in Brazil on Wednesday night, and later returned to apologize for needing to end her show early. Video published on social media showed her lying on the ground.

Unfortunately during last night’s gig at Teatro Cultura Artística in São Paulo, Brazil, Smith became unwell, falling backwards mid-gig and appearing to hit her head on the floor. Fortunately event staff were able to quickly come to her aid and escort her from the stage.
