Justin Timberlake has defended Pink, after she was criticised for cancelling her concert in Sydney due to illness.
After cancelling her gig, the 37-year-old was papped “chilling” on the beach in Byron Bay.
Once the photos were printed, Pink hit back by telling fans, “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.”
Many have come to the singer’s defence, including fellow musician Justin Timberlake, who commented, “As an artist who has had the fortune of sharing the stage twice on tour with this incomparable BADASS (once with ‘NSync and once as a solo artist), I’m here to tell you that you won’t find a harder working, more authentically talented, and more thankful for her place on that stage and her fans than this woman.”
He continued, “And NOW… as a parent on tour as well, and an artist who LOVES their fans just as much and wants to give them an unprecedented experience… AND is currently battling an injury, a sinus infection, and trying to be the DAD I want to be too?? I say HATS OFF to you, my friend.”
I don’t know how Moms/Artists like you exist. Go make up some fodder about somebody who’s half-assin’ it. NOT a real one. Wishing you full health and speedy recovery, Pink! Shine on, sis!!!!! — JT,” he concluded.
While Pink continues her Beautiful Trauma tour in Oz, Justin is currently on his Man of the Woods tour in Europe.
