Patti Smith performing on New Years Eve © Circa, courtesy of the artist Covid-19 restrictions may have meant that Patti Smith’s New Year’s performance, commissioned by the digital platform Circa for the London s iconic Piccadilly Lights screen, could only be streamed online. But it still offered a rousing and moving start to 2021 that also marked the start of her month-long residency upon the giant illuminated hoarding. On the stroke of midnight the legendary rocker, poet and artist delivered a stirring rendition of Auld Lang Syne, which she then followed with a moving tribute that acknowledged, with “sorrow and respect”, one hundred NHS and healthcare workers who had lost their lives over the past 12 months. Images of these heroic individuals were interspersed with Peaceable Kingdom, a song written by Smith to comfort the living when they lose loved ones”, which she also described as “a song of rebuilding our world”.
