Patti Smith, the iconic singer, collapsed while performing in Sao Paulo, Brazil, after experiencing dizziness from a severe migraine.
The incident took place roughly 30 minutes into her show as Smith was sharing a text on climate change.
She remained on the stage for several minutes before receiving assistance and being taken away in a wheelchair, according to the DailyMail.
Later, Smith returned to express her regrets to the crowd for being unable to complete the performance.
“I’m so sorry, the doctor informed me I can’t proceed,” she said, while the audience responded with applause and cheers. Informed by the group Soundwalk Collective, who performed with her, Smith had been dealing with migraines for two days but was eager to perform.
It remains unclear whether her scheduled performance for the following evening will go ahead.
