Embarking on a mammoth world tour is exhausting for anybody, but Pink has really been through it over the last couple of weeks.
Currently touring in Australia, Pink became ill and was forced to cancel some of her shows. However, this was met with criticism when paparazzi snapped her seemingly enjoying a family day out.
Seeing the way it was being reported in the media, Pink posted a lengthy caption, clapping back at the paparazzi in particular for suggesting she'd cancelled her shows so she could chill out on the beach.
What these parasite paparazzi don’t show you is two doctor visits in Byron on two consecutive days, antibiotics, steroids, Vick’s, nose spray, throat spray, more steroids, NyQuil, a screaming baby in the middle of the night, every night, while mama gives him warm baths and tells her daughter everything is fine.
Well now Pink has been forced to cancel even more shows after she was rushed to hospital experiencing "excruciating pain".
After being discharged with orders to rest and drink liquids, Pink posted to Instagram again, thanking her understanding fans for their love and support.
But she still found time to hilariously drag the paparazzi, giving them a warning to stop any further speculation on why she's cancelled some of her performances.
She said:
That’s a warning to paparazzi, you might actually see me walking upright outside of my hotel room cage with two little children, and another warning: I might even smile. Not too much, though. I’ll try to control the smiling.
Pink ended the caption with a thank you to the doctors at the hospital, and a promise to fans that the shows would be rescheduled immediately.
Here's the caption in full:
Hi beautiful Sydney people.
First, I want to say thank you to all of the kind people out there for your well wishes for my speedy recovery.
On Monday, we were absolutely planning on going ahead with the show, and about 20 minutes before I left for soundcheck, I was rushed to the hospital, in excruciating pain. That was the reason for the late cancellation. It was out of
anyone’s control, and of course, wasn’t planned that way.
I was discharged from hospital last night, and am following doctors orders of liquids and rest.
A lot of you know how physical my shows are, and that I don’t just stand in front a microphone and sing.
I flip, dance, fly, harness, silk, and scream my way through a total shit show of awesomeness (no pun intended). Therefore, I need to be physically healthy and well in order to perform this show. I think all of you deserve the full show and me at my best.
Our next show will be Saturday, and until then I will be drinking green tea, and spending time with my kids.
That’s a warning to paparazzi, you might actually see me walking upright outside of my hotel room cage with two little children, and another warning: I might even smile. Not too much, though. I’ll try to control the smiling.
My sincere apologies to any of the ticket holders that this has affected, the rescheduled dates will be announced today. Thank you for your patience, compassion, and support. I look forward to rocking out with all of you as we have done for many many years. All of my love.
Pink
I also want to thank the amazing doctors and nurses at St Vincent’s Hospital for taking such good care of me and getting me home to my kids.
Let's hope Pink gets back to full health ASAP!
