PATTI SMITH sends “I LOVE YOU” message to PUSSY RIOT

At the stage door after PATTI SMITH‘s incredibly visceral show at Manchester Academy on 7 September, we had the good fortune to catch Patti as she made her way out of the venue. We asked her for a message for us to pass on to jailed Pussy Riot members Masha, Katya and Nadya, since we’re in touch with their legal team. Hesitating for a split second, she then said, “I know exactly what I want to say to them.”

And this is the message she kindly handwrote out in large letters:

I LOVE YOU – Patti Smith
