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

Unfortunately during last night’s gig at Teatro Cultura Artística in São Paulo, Brazil, Smith became unwell, falling backwards mid-gig and appearing to hit her head on the floor. Fortunately event staff were able to quickly come to her aid and escort her from the stage.
