Pink hits back after postponing her first Sydney concert
Pink has taken to Instagram to justify postponing her first Sydney concert due to illness.
The singer, who is currently in Australia with her Beautiful Trauma World Tour, shared a photo of herself on the beach with daughter Willow accompanied by the headline 'Pink's Sydney concert cancelled as the singer 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," the 38-year-old started.
"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."
The 'What About Us' singer went onto explain that she has never taken advantage anyone or "f**ked off" her fans who spend money to see her perform.
"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," she said.
"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."
Pink's touring promoter Live Nation have not yet announced a new date for the cancelled show at Qudos Bank Arena.
