Last week, Pink cancelled two performances due to a “family medical emergency.” Today, she announced that she has to postpone two more. But for a different reason.
“I am deeply sorry to share that I have a respiratory infection and my doctor has advised that I am unable to perform at the Vancouver shows on Friday and Saturday,” the singer wrote. “Live Nation is working on new dates to reschedule the shows. I am very much looking forward to performing in Vancouver and putting on an incredible show for everyone. In the meantime, I wish everyone good health and am sending lots of love xoxo Pink”
Hopefully, she will be feeling better and causing trouble in a city near you soon.
P!nk played Citi Field last week, and her fans weren’t done singing her tunes after the concert was over. So they sang her song So What in unison on the subway back home!
I miss those days of bonding with strangers on public transportation after a show. That is one of the downfalls of sitting in your car, inhaling toxic fumes as you spend an hour trying to get out of the parking lot to get home. Why don’t I take public transportation to go to a gig? Oh, yeah, I have a car, and I will get home quicker.
Back in 2001, Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya, and P!nk recorded a cover of Lady Marmalade for the Moulin Rogue soundtrack, and it was an instant hit. The music video looked like so much fun, but it turns out that was not how things were behind the scenes.
P!nk talked about it to BuzzFeed’s Sam Cleal. “Oh, okay, well there’s ‘Lady Marmalade’,” she said. “It wasn’t very fun to make; I’m all about fun, and it was a lot of fuss. There were some ~personalities~… Kim and Maya were nice. I guess it is iconic, but I remember I kept crying because my skin didn’t like the makeup. It was just…There was some annoying things happening that day.”
Since she didn’t mention X-Tina, everyone assumed she was throwing shade at the singer. Today, P!nk responded to that claim on social media. “Y’all are nuts,” she wrote. “Xtina had shit to do with who was on that song.If you don’t know by now- I’m not ‘shading’ someone by telling it over and over and over what actually happened. I’m zero percent interested in your fucking drama. If you haven’t noticed- I’m a little busy selling.”
What do you think? I think she was totally shading X-Tina. But then again, you don’t have to like everyone you work with. I know I hated a lot of my co-workers. The difference is no one cares that I did.
It is Chanukah, so that means that it is time for Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin to sing songs by Jewish artists for the eight nights of the holiday.
Tonight on The Hanukkah Sessions, they invited P!nk to jam with them as they performed her hit Get the Party Started, and it definitely lit the menorah!
So get up and dance as you did at all of the Bar Mitzvahs you went to in junior high school. You know you want to because this version makes you want to spin like a dreidel.
PINK is one of the greatest performers of our generation, hands down. Therefore, she is one of the few people who can look back at 20 years of her biggest hits and combine them all for a bitchin’ one minute video.
Watch her sing Get the Party Started, So What, Raise Your Glass, Just Give Me a Reason, Walk Me Home, and her newest single Cover Me In Sunshine, all while wearing an orange prison suit. It makes sense because this video is so good it is a crime.
I really hope other artists, who have a list of hits, do this too. We can call it the #MyHitsInAMinuteChallenge. Who would you like to see do it next?
