Smith, a true force of nature, is about to embark on a North American tour to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her groundbreaking album, Horses. This tour is set to be a landmark event, a testament to the enduring power of her music. She also just released her latest memoir, Bread of Angels, adding another layer to her already rich and compelling story.
During her appearance on the show, Smith delved into the depths of Horses, shared insights into her new memoir, and reminisced about her childhood.
