Pink defends herself after her show is cancelled

The singer gives her side of the story

Pink has defended herself after cancelling her show.

The singer cancelled her Sydney concert due to illness, but she was spotted spending some time with her family.

The mother of one took to Instagram to tell fans that she was trying to do “what was best for my children, while also putting on the best and most physically demanding and beautiful show of my life.”

She continued, saying how “This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children.”

Pink responded to a paparazzi photo, which showed her lying on the beach with her daughter with the caption ‘Pink’s Sydney concert cancelled as she chills in Byron Bay.’

I don’t need to clear this up, but out of respect for my fans I will attempt it. I scheduled this tour meticulously, trying to do what was best for my children, while also putting on the best and most physically demanding and beautiful show of my life. This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children. I’ve already been sick twice (kids as well)on this Australian tour, but the first time we got sick, I was able to push through. This time, 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. You can think whatever you want, it’s your right, but I have never taken advantage of any one in my entire life. I have never fucked off while disrespecting hard working people who spend money to come see me play. I have never phoned in a single tour, I have an impeccable record for not cancelling. I mother with everything I have whilst handling all the rest. The snark in this is unbelievable and makes me long for a nicer world. I’m doing the absolute best I can, and you can believe it or not. What they don’t show you in this picture is me drinking water and lying down while my friends try to entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move. I will see everyone tomorrow whether I’m better or not, and the postponed show will be rescheduled. As I said, I’m sorry to the real fans who this situation has affected. Onwards and upwards.

Defending herself she continued, saying that “This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children.”

The 38-year-old lashed out at the “parasite paparazzi” who took the photos of her on the beach and added that the images did not show her trying to recover, while she said her friends had to “entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move.”

Pink, who’s real name is Alecia announced to her Australian fans on the 2nd of August how she would be unable to perform her Sydney show.

 

“Hi my Sydney friends. It is with great frustration that I bring you this news:( Friday’s show will be postponed,” she told fans.

“I was hoping a couple of days of rest would help me kick this sick, but not at the speed I was hoping for. I appreciate your well wishes and understanding + I’m sorry.”

Pinks ‘Beautiful Trauma World Tour’ will end in March 2019.
