Pop star Pink has cancelled a series of concerts in Australia after being hospitalised with a gastric virus. The US singer, real name Alecia Moore, was admitted to a Sydney hospital twice, according to promoter Live Nation.
She initially postponed a concert last Friday on medical advice but performed on Saturday night. However, Monday's show was called off as fans began arriving at the venue, and Tuesday's performance was also postponed. Live Nation confirmed Pink would remain in hospital overnight for treatment and recovery.
The 38-year-old has been battling illness during her Australian tour, which started last month. After postponing Friday's show, she faced criticism from tabloid media for being pictured on the beach with her family. Pink defended herself on Instagram, citing multiple doctor visits and medication.
Doctors will reassess Pink on Tuesday. Her next scheduled concert is on Thursday, with tickets still on sale. Live Nation said a further announcement would be made when an update becomes available, without indicating whether more cancellations are likely.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions. Many showed sympathy, while some voiced frustration at the late cancellation of Monday's show. Others noted the physical demands of her performance, which includes high-wire acrobatics, and supported the decision to cancel for safety reasons.
