"With all the strife in the world, this explainable incident does not merit so much attention," she wrote on Instagram.

The music legend gave fans an update on her condition after her harrowing onstage 'incident' on Wednesday, January 29 in São Paulo, Brazil.

Singer Patti Smith collapsed during a presentation in Brazil on Wednesday night, and later returned to apologize for needing to end her show early. Video published on social media showed her lying on the ground.

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.

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.

Patti Smith is doing well, contrary to the "exaggerated" reports about her health scare after a stage mishap in Brazil.
