Pink: Postponed shows cancelled, singer apologises to fans and reveals health battle and upcoming surgeries
Pop star Pink has shared a candid, emotional message with fans, addressing her cancelled tour shows and her hidden health battle.
The So What singer revealed that her recent Summer Carnival tour has taken such a large toll on her that she is now in need of urgent medical attention.
“I wanted to touch base to those people who had tickets to the four shows that were cancelled,” she said in a video posted to Instagram.

Four shows on Pink’s tour had been postponed, with ticket holders originally told the performances would be rescheduled.
However, ticket holders for the concerts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lincoln, Nebraska, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Des Moines, Iowa were heartbroken when they were emailed by promoters telling them the shows would no longer be rescheduled.
“For the last couple of months, I have been performing with the torn bicep and two torn meniscus, both knees, my left knee,” Pink revealed.
“Obviously, some of you have seen the videos where I couldn’t actually walk in a show.
“So, I’m gonna have surgery in a week on my shoulder, and then I’m gonna have surgery in nine more weeks on my knee, and I’m gonna be the bionic woman.
“I’m gonna come back, come back stronger and harder than I’ve ever done, because that’s what I do.”
The singer apologised to fans, adding “I’ve been in a lot of pain for many months.”
“I’ve had a lot of cortisone coursing through my veins, you can ask my husband.”
The singer has reportedly raked in over $1 billion AUD from her 2023-2024 Summer Carnival world tour, something Pink described as “the most incredible experience”.
In the candid confession, Pink appeared to acknowledge President-elect Donald Trump’s recent victory in the US election.
Pink had thrown her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris, even performing a rendition of What About Us at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in August.
“The next several years are going to be really hard, and really f**ked,” she said.
“Stay strong, stay kind to each other.
“We’ve got each other. Don’t ever forget that.
“I will be fighting every single day straight out of surgery.”
