Pink has been forced to cancel her Switzerland concert one day before the show the singer announced in a regretful post.
The “Just Give Me a Reason” artist, 44, took to instagram on Tuesday, July 2, to explain the reason why she could no longer perform on Wednesday.
“I am so sorry that I have had to cancel my show in Bern this Wednesday,” Pink captioned the post, which featured a black-and-white photo of herself onstage. “I do everything I 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.”
“I was looking forward to being with you and making memories with you and sharing our show with you and am so disappointed that we have to cancel,” she continued, noting that “all tickets will be refunded.” The Grammy winner signed off by “sending love and health” to her fans before noting: “I really hope to see you again soon.”
Pink’s team made the initial announcement on Tuesday, citing the cancelation was due to “illness.”
“It is with great regret that we have to cancel P!NK’s concert on Wednesday, 3 July at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern,” read the statement, per the Daily Mail. “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 has been touring the world as part of her Summer Carnival Tour.
The “So What” artist — who is known for her gravity-defying stunts and high-flying performances — told the Los Angeles Times in 2023 that the reason she started doing so many acrobatics during her live shows was precisely because she was terrified to do them.
“That’s why I started doing it — because I’m afraid of heights, and I don’t want to be afraid,” she shared, adding: “I’ve been in some situations that don’t feel good. I wonder every night if my bungees are gonna work. But it’s a cool way to go if they don’t.”
