Patti Smith, better known as 'the godmother of punk', was hospitalized this Tuesday in Bologna due to a "sudden illness." The singer was in Italy on one of her tours, and was scheduled to perform this Wednesday at the Duse theater. However, as TG Com 24 has revealed, the visual artist is under observation.
After this, the concert had to be cancelled. "It is with great regret that we inform the kind public that the Patti Smith concert will not be able to take the stage due to a sudden illness that affected the artist," the theater announced.
"We all regret the inconvenience caused by this news. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery for the artist," he added. This news has set off alarm bells due to the singer's age: 76 years old. Although until now she was stronger than ever, she continues to worry about her state of health.
This setback occurs in the middle of their eight-date tour. The last concert was given last Saturday in Modena, where he was in perfect condition. And although she now remains admitted to the hospital, the one scheduled for Thursday, December 14 at the Malibran theater in Venice has not been canceled.
Although nothing more is known about it, it is very likely that he will soon be able to continue with his normal life. And just a few months ago she was full of strength to face new projects. Apart from her concerts in Italy, Patti Smith produced a book compiling images about her life during the pandemic, many unpublished.
And the fact is that covid-19 helped him to photograph himself in the most intimate places of his home. Something she liked so much that she decided to create The Book of Days. "Many of the still lifes of books or other objects were taken in my room, in New York, that was where I spent the pandemic," he assured La Vanguardia.
Patricia Lee Smith, or Patti Smith, born in Chicago in 1946, has been linked to the artistic world since her birth. And her mother was a jazz singer, so she couldn't resist being part of the same space, but of a totally different genre: rock and punk.
In his more than 50 years in a musical career, he has released eleven studio albums and has received numerous awards for his career. So much so, that in 2007 he saw his name inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
