In ‘Year of the Monkey,’ rocker Patti Smith blurs past and present to move past loss.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I wanted to assure everyone that I’m doing just fine. Contrary to the sensationalized stories being circulated by the media, both traditional and online, the account of my circumstances is far from the truth. To set the record straight, I’ve decided to share this photo of me giving a friendly wave, captured by the camera.

78-year-old musician admitted experiencing some “spells of light-headedness following a migraine” before exiting the stage due to a minor occurrence. However, she reappeared on stage about 10 minutes later and completed her performance.

In her message, she shared that she conversed with others, assured them of her wellbeing and serenaded them with “Wings” and “Because the Night.” She underwent a thorough examination by an outstanding physician who confirmed her health status. She asks everyone to disregard any other accounts. Given the turmoil in the world, she believes this incident is not worth such widespread focus. Thank you for your concern; rest assured, I am well.
