Patti Smith appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night (November 6) to discuss her new memoir, Bread of Angels, and some of the career-spanning anecdotes featured therein. In the extended chat with host Stephen Colbert, she discussed her National Book Award win for Just Kids, her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe, the 50th anniversary of Horses, the arrival of the new book in a dream, and more. She also performed “Peaceable Kingdom,” a song from her 2004 album Trampin’, accompanied by its co-writer, Tony Shanahan. Watch it all go down below.
Bread of Angels arrives November 4 via Random House. A reissue of Horses came out last month.
