Patti Smith has shared that she is not concerned about New York City’s future as a musical hub when the COVID-19 pandemic passes.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Patti said she has no fear about Big Apple performance venues coming back – saying other parts of the world have far larger problems. <\/p>\n

“I mean, we’re worried about what’s going to happen but you look at places in East Africa where there’s billions of locusts,” she offered, telling the publication: “They have the biggest epidemic of locusts, where all of their crops are gone.”<\/p>\n

Smith added: “In Yemen, children are dying every day from starvation. We have what is happening in terms of climate change.”<\/p>\n

She concluded New York’s plight is minor by contrast: “So I’m not fixated on what’s going to happen in New York City.”<\/p>\n

Gushing over her hometown, Smith said: “I’ve been all over the world and I still think it’s one of the most diverse cities. I’ll always love New York City.”<\/p>\n

The punk rocker has been forced to postpone her latest world tour until next year and said the performance hiatus is hitting her hard.<\/p>\n

“Because I’ll be going into my 74th year, it was possibly going to be one of my last such vigorous tours, so I spent a lot of time on it – developing a mindset toward public life, collaboration, travel,” she detailed.<\/p>\n

Smith recounted that as she was ‘mentally and physically prepared’ for travel and media attention, abruptly switching to solitude was a shock for her.<\/p>\n

“Having to go from the extroverted life of a performer to the introverted life of a writer was a challenge because I wasn’t prepared for it,” she confessed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
