Pink cancels huge gig just hours before taking to the stage

Pink has cancelled a huge gig on Wednesday in Bern, Switzerland after falling ill.

The singer, 44, was due to perform at Stadion Wankdorf as part of her Summer Carnival Tour but was told by her medical team not to do the gig.

A source told The Sun: ‘Pink has cancelled her show in Bern on doctor’s orders. She has been working so hard on the road and the performances are always high octane with loads of stunts.

‘This, naturally, takes a toll on her and she has been advised to take a break.

‘The call to cancel the gig was a hard one for her to make because she hates letting down her fans.’

The insider added that Pink’s Switzerland show will be rescheduled as soon as possible. 

A statement from Pink’s team read: ‘It is with great regret that we have to cancel P!NK’s concert on Wednesday, 3 July at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. 

‘Due to illness and after a thorough medical examination, the performance has to be cancelled on doctor’s advice. 

‘Unfortunately, the concert cannot be rescheduled due to the current tour planning. Tickets can be returned at the place of purchase. 

‘We deeply regret the circumstances and thank you for your understanding. We wish P!NK a speedy and full recovery.’

Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, began her Summer Carnival Tour in June 2023, will wrap the tour in Miami in November. 

Earlier this year, Pink and her husband Carey Hart celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and the singer shared a sweet tribute post to ring in the special milestone.  

Along with an assortment of throwback photos, she penned: ‘Love is a lifetime of coming back to the table. We almost didn’t make it to this one, well a couple of them, if I’m being honest.’ 

‘When I met you, 22 years ago, I just wanted someone that wouldn’t lie to me. I didn’t have a clue about commitment, building a life together, intimacy, trust. It’s f***ing hard.’ 

‘But man if I’m not humbled by the surprise of loyalty, history, forgiveness, and resilience. How love rearranges itself and reappears after an empty night or five,’ she added. 

‘I’m proud we made it to the other side of this year. I wear our scars proudly. You are my stubborn, beautiful, immovable rock.’

‘The family we’ve built and the stories we have weaved together and the memories we continue to make are worth more than a thousand million awards that anyone could give me. I love you and I love us.’ 

Carey also uploaded a tribute of his own and reflected on their 22 years together and at one point, sweetly wrote, ‘There is no one else on this planet I’d rather do it with than you…’ 

The lovebirds first crossed paths in 2001, and she later proposed to Hart in 2005. The two tied the knot during a ceremony in Costa Rica in 2006. 

However, two years later, the pair announced their separation. In 2009, Pink and Hart reconciled and called off their divorce.
