Pink cancels more shows due to illness after backlash: ‘I’m unable to perform’

Pink has been forced to cancel two upcoming shows in Vancouver, Canada, due to illness.

The American singer, 44, made the shock announcement on her Instagram on Friday, revealing she is suffering from a respiratory infection.

The What About Us hitmaker told fans she was “deeply sorry” to cancel her upcoming Friday and Saturday night shows but said she has been told to rest on doctor’s orders.

“Vancouver shows postponed: I am deeply sorry to share that I have a respiratory tract infection and my doctor has advised that I am unable to perform at the Vancouver shows on Friday and Saturday,” she wrote in her statement to her more than 10.3million followers.

“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.”

She added: “In the meantime, I wish everyone good health and am sending lots of love.”

She captioned her post: “Vancouver shows postponed 😓Sending everyone lots of love and my sincere apologies xoxo.”

“Feel better soon!” one fan commented underneath.

It comes after Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, revealed she’s been receiving a series of ”threats” and has cancelled some tour dates in the U.S. after she was accused of showing support for Israel at her shows amid the escalating Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

She shared a statement on Monday on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying people mistook Māori Poi flags for Israeli flags – and insisted she wasn’t taking a side in the conflict.

She also cancelled two scheduled tour dates in Tacoma, Washington, but said “family medical issues” were the cause.

She wrote in her statement: “This post will be controversial for some. At this point, breathing is controversial. I am getting many threats because people mistakenly believe I am flying Israeli flags in my show. I am not. I have been using Poi flags since the beginning of this tour.”

“These were used many, many years ago by the Māori people in New Zealand and because they and the Māori people are beautiful to me, we use them. I do not fly flags in my show in support of anything or anyone except the rainbow flag.”

She added: “That will remain my position. I am a human. I believe in peace. Equality. Love. I am deeply saddened by the state of the world. I pray for all of us.”

Pink also cancelled two shows set for October 17 and 18 in Tacoma, Washington, due to “family medical issues”.

“Tacoma shows postponed: I am so sorry to inform the Tacoma ticket holders that the two shows October 17 and 18 will be postponed,” she wrote in a post shared on Instagram on Tuesday.

“Live Nation are working on future dates to reschedule. Family medical issues require our immediate attention. I send everyone my sincerest apologies for an inconvenience this has caused.”

She added: “I am sending nothing but love and health to all.”

Pink announced a month ago that Tones and I will be joining the pop star for her tour Down Under next year.

She also revealed that she will be adding not one but two extra shows to her Aussie line-up for those who missed out on the first set of concert dates that went on sale earlier this year.
