Smith's rep has been radio silent, leaving the details of her condition under wraps, but that hasn't stopped the outpour of support from her global fanbase. The legendary performer, who's been blazing through Italy with her electrifying tour, was gearing up for a grand finale in Venice at Teatro Malibran this Thursday. Plus, her U.S. fans were counting down the days until her return to the stage in Chicago and Brooklyn later this month.
Let's not forget, this is the woman who brought the house down at Madison Square Garden this summer, proving that age is just a number when it comes to rockin' out! As the "high priestess of punk-poetry," Smith's influence on the music world is undeniable, with classics like "Dancing Barefoot" and "People Have the Power" that continue to inspire generations.
While we all hope for Patti Smith's swift return to health and the stage, let's crank up "Horses" and keep the punk spirit alive! Get well soon, Patti!
