Pink Forced To Cancel Concert

The “Just Like a Pill” singer, 44, took to Instagram on Tuesday (July 2) to announce the cancellation, expressing her deep regret and explaining that she had to follow her doctor’s orders.

“I am so sorry that I have had to cancel my show in Bern this Wednesday.” She told her 10.9 million followers that she does everything she can “to ensure I can perform for you every night, but after consultation with my doctor and exploring all options available, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to continue with the show tomorrow.”

Though the mother of two was looking forward to making memories with Swiss fans and sharing her show with them, she expressed how “disappointed” she felt having to cancel. She assured fans that tickets would be refunded before she wished “love and health” to her fans.

Her Switzerland stop was scheduled to take place on Wednesday (July 3) at Stadion Wankdorf in the Swiss capital as part of her ongoing Summer Carnival tour. There isn’t a rescheduled date, and she is scheduled to perform this Saturday, July 6th, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tour has seen her perform over 70 shows across Europe and North America, with more than 30 additional dates scheduled through the end of 2024.

Her Swiss fans shared their support for Pink prioritizing her health and wrote things like, “I’m sure your heart is broken most, because you don’t want to disappoint your fans. But health first! So I hope nobody’s angry and everybody’s sending you lots of love and recovery vibes! Get well soon! We love you! [heart emojis].” Added another, “Take care of you, girl. We know you would never cancel a show unless it was absolutely necessary [heart emojis].” A third commented, “Aww I am so sorry you are unwell. We all know you would never cancel a show unless you had to. You are a machine but even machines malfunction and have to be fixed so make sure you give yourself time to recouperate [pink hearts emoji].”

The pop icon will return to the United States in August and conclude her Summer Carnival tour in South Carolina in November. She will visit major cities like Detroit, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Orlando.

The opening acts for Pink’s tour include Gayle, KidCutUp, and The Script in Europe, with Sheryl Crow joining The Script and KidCutUp for the North American leg.

The Grammy winner hadn’t shared what health concerns she is currently dealing with, but this isn't the first time she's had to cancel tour dates. Last October, she canceled the Vancouver leg of her tour due to a respiratory infection. Her doctor advised her unable to perform due to a sinus infection. Prior to that, she rescheduled two shows in Tacoma, Washington, citing “family medical issues”

Pink's 15 Best Music Videos Ranked

We love P!nk, so we ranked our 15 favorite music videos the eccentric singer and songwriter has come out with since her 2000 debut album, Can’t Take Me Home. For the last 20 years, she’s given us hits like “Get the Party Started,” “There You Go” and “So What.” P!nk, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, celebrates her birthday on September 8. The acrobatic firecracker of a popstar has given different explanations about how she came to the nickname of Pink, which she has had since she was a child growing up in Pennsylvania. At 14 years old, she was convinced to audition to join the all-female group Basic Instinct and earned a spot in the lineup. However, the group disbanded without releasing any material.

P!nk’s Early Music Career

Two years later, P!nk and two other teenage girls, Sharon Flanagan and Chrissy Conway, formed the R&B group Choice. A copy of their first song, “Key to My Heart,” was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta, Georgia, where composer and producer L.A. Reid overheard it and arranged for the group to fly there so he could see them perform. After that, he signed them to a record deal. The girl group relocated to Atlanta and recorded an album, which was never released, but “Key to My Heart” appeared on the soundtrack to the 1996 family comedy film Kazaam. During a Christmas party, Reid gave Pink an ultimatum: go solo or go home, so Choice disbanded in 1998.

Solo Success

One year later, Pink signed a recording contract with LaFace Records and released her first solo album, Can’t Take Me Home, which found commercial success. In 2001, she joined singers Christina Aguilera and Mýa and rapper Lil’ Kim, for a cover of “Lady Marmalade” for the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge!. In the US it became the most successful airplay-only single in history, as well as Pink’s first No. 1 single. The success of the single was helped by the music video, which was popular on music channels at the time.

Take a look below at our top 15 P!nk music videos ranked.

  • 15. Walk Me Home

    For the dance shadow choreography alone, P!nk’s music video for “Walk Me Home” earns the number 15 spot on our list of best videos.

  • 14. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken

    The emotional black-and-white video featuring her daughter, Willow Sage Hart, has us in our feels.

  • 13. What About Us

    P!nk involving interpretive dance in “What About Us” is the perfect culmination of acting and choreography.

  • 12. Funhouse

    From her 2008 album of the same name, “Funhouse” shows P!nk frolicking around with “evil clowns,” burning down memories and quite literally — a house.

  • 11. There You Go

    When P!nk emerged on the scene in 2000 with her bright pink hair, she showed us a powerful woman with attitude who doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks.

  • 10. U + Ur Hand

    P!nk’s alter egos in “U + Ur Hand” can beat us up anytime, as she shows us with her boxing skills and fiery red hair.

  • 9. Most Girls

    P!nk’s fashion choices in “Most Girls” have all come back in 2021: rocking a metal crop top and baggy pants and a baby blue furry hat with matching bikini top and leather pants.

  • 8. Don't Let Me Get Me

    P!nk proclaimed that when she got to L.A. they told her, “You’ll be a pop star. All you have to change is everything you are,” but that just ain’t P!nk!

  • 7. Please Don't Leave Me

    In an attempt to stop her lover from leaving, P!nk takes things to the extreme in the music video for “Please Don’t Leave Me.”

  • 6. Stupid Girls

    In a parody of what America covets “hot girls” like Paris Hilton in the early 2000s, P!nk rejects the fake tans and fake boobs, opting for outcasts and girls with ambition.

  • 5. So What

    P!nk playfully shows us how much she hates love in the music video for “So What” — chopping down trees with names etched in on them and fighting a newlywed couple who had the unfortunate pleasure of stopping next to her on the street.

  • 4. Just Like Fire

    P!nk shows off her cirque du soleil skills, as “Just Like Fire” was featured on Disney’s 2016 Alice Through The Looking Glass soundtrack. A chess scene involving many P!nks is definitely the highlight of the music video.

  • 3. All I Know So Far

    P!nk’s music videos are practically mini movies, as “All I Know So Far” features out-of-this-world places and characters, and even a cameo by Cher!

  • 2. Beautiful Trauma

    The 1950s cinematography of “Beautiful Trauma” is what reeled us in for this music video, but the Channing Tatum playing the part of her husband got us locked in. The duo even do a gender-swap, with Tatum wearing a dress and silk gloves, while P!nk opted for a suit and tie.

  • 1. Get The Party Started

    After making it’s debut in 2001, “Get The Party Started” became a go-to party anthem, even twenty years later. The music video shows P!nk getting ready for a night of clubbing, but unfortunately for her, the car runs out of gas on the way to the club, so she and her friend steal a couple skateboards to get there — only to be refused entry. Thinking on her feet, they use a scaffold to bring them to the top of the building so they can sneak in.
