A lot of rumors have been circulating lately about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s health. But no, she’s not dead. She hasn’t been seen in photos lately, but she’s made one public appearance and is working on recovering following cancer surgery. With Ginsburg not attending the State of the Union tonight, there will likely be renewed rumors and hoaxes about her health. But recovering from cancer surgery, especially at her age, can be a long process. She hasn’t attended the SOTU for the last two years, so it’s not surprising that she wouldn’t attend tonight.
No authenticated photos have surfaced of Ginsburg’s first public appearance last night. Ginsburg?s first public appearance was for Notorious RBG in Song, a musical about Ginsburg?s life. Her daughter-in-law, Patrice Michaels, created and performed in the musical. It was presented for high school students at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. According to The Washington Post, 85-year-old Ginsburg sat in the back and was only seen as she was leaving. Her daughter-in-law didn?t tell anyone she was there, and Ginsburg didn?t make any kind of speech to the crowd.
One photo has been shared online, but Heavy hasn’t been able to yet determine who first shared this photo or authenticate that it was taken last night:

Despite the lack of photos, numerous people did talk about seeing her there. Jeffrey Rosen, President & CEO of the Constitution Center, tweeted that he was thrilled to see her there Monday night.
Thrilled that Justice Ginsburg attended the first concert performance of #NotoriousRBG in Song. She, Patrice Michaels, and the performance were magnificent! https://t.
