You may think that musicians who have been around for decades are immune to nerves, but Patti Smith proved otherwise at the Nobel Prize ceremony on Saturday.

"I'm sorry," she said, smiling, "I'm so nervous. Can we start that section again?"
Apart from the hiccup, Smith's rendition of the song was widely praised.
