Singer Patti Smith told The Associated Press by phone that she was fine after collapsing during a presentation in Brazil.

Patti Smith says she is “absolutely fine” after “grossly exaggerated” reports that she collapsed onstage at a show in São Paulo, Brazil. The New York punk rock pioneer and singer-songwriter, a Chicago native who grew up in Deptford, South Jersey, took to Instagram to clear up what happened.

Patti Smith downplays her recent fall onstage and blames 'post-migraine dizziness' for the incident, which she believes 'does not merit so much attention.'
