P!NK postpones a third Sydney concert after being admitted to hospital

Former Staff Writer

Pop superstar P!NK‘s massive Australian tour has hit a roadblock with the singer postponing a third Sydney concert following a stint in hospital.

The first show of P!NK‘s Beautiful Trauma tour was scheduled to hit Sydney on Friday, 3 August but was cancelled on doctors orders.

After this, the singer battled through her Saturday night gig but postponed Sunday night after being admitted to St Vincents Hospital, suffering from dehydration.

She was then readmitted to hospital yesterday (Monday, 6) and diagnosed with a gastric virus. This caused the artist to postpone her Monday show just hours before she was to take to the stage.

Now, an official statement has been released by Live Nation on Twitter which asserts that tonight’s scheduled gig at Qudos Bank Arena has also been postponed.

P!NK is currently being reassessed by doctors today as she continues her treatment and recovery.

Disgruntled fans have taken to Twitter to express their frustration over the short notice postponements.

I get that @Pink is sick but how are they allowed to cancel a show half an hour before doors open
We have family friends with us and it was her daughters first concert and now we are both hysterically crying and through my tears I’m trying to cheer up a heartbroken 5 year old

Absolutely sucks that the whole reason we came to Sydney was for Pink’s concert and it’s been postponed (and we can’t make it back down no matter the date). There’s nothing we or she can do but at least we got a family trip to Sydney out of it I guess ?

However, some of P!NK’s fans have hit back on Instagram, calling out the portion of her followers chastising her.

Whilst the majority of fans are supportive, I have to say I am disappointed to see a lot of selfishness from some regarding the three postponed Beautiful Trauma Tour shows in Sydney. Whilst I understand it is inconvenient and disappointing, I am saddened to see such shallow responses… I actually thought that as Aussies, we were a little more tolerable and laid back than that. Having seen the show several times, I know how physically demanding it is… From her vocal delivery to incredible acrobatics, P!nk puts 110% into everything on stage and to expect her to do it after she has been hospitalised is blatantly shocking. Quite frankly, if you have that kind of attitude then you can jog right along and unfollow this page, because your negative comments will be deleted anyway. I’m all about love and positivity for this woman!! Rant. Over??‍♂️✋??????#PinkFans #BeautifulTraumaTour #GetWellPink
