Patti Smith collapsed mid-gig last night, requiring medical attention at the venue, before making a recovery and returning to the stage with the assistance of a wheelchair. The pair had been working together for the past ten years on the project and had recently embarked on a short tour of their project together.
Fortunately event staff were able to quickly come to her aid and escort her from the stage. Her team posted to social media that she had been suffering from migraine for the past couple of days but had wanted to perform. Following her fall last night and a short interlude, Smith returned to the stage in a wheelchair to continue and complete the performance as planned, performing two further songs including her classic Because The Night.
