Patti Smith is setting the record straight about a fall she took onstage in Brazil, explaining that reports about the incident have been "grossly exaggerated" and saying she is doing just fine. The singer-songwriter took to Instagram on Thursday after reports about her Wednesday fall in São Paulo spread across social media.

Veteran singer and poet Patti Smith has reassured fans that she is "fine” after collapsing during a presentation in Brazil and later returning to apologize to the audience for ending her show early. Video published on social media showed the 78-year-old lying on the stage of the venue in Sao Paulo on Wednesday night.

Smith, 78, was performing with the group Soundwalk Collective in Brazil on Wednesday, Jan. 29, when she fell, according to The Guardian. She was removed from the stage in a wheelchair, returning shortly thereafter to address the crowd.
