Pop star Pink is reassuring fans that she is on the mend after spending New Year’s Eve in the hospital. The Grammy-winning artist, known for hits such as “So What” and “Raise Your Glass,” underwent a medical procedure to replace two discs in her neck. She shared a candid post on Instagram detailing her experience and reflecting on the past year.
Reflecting on a Challenging Year
In her Instagram post, Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, expressed gratitude for her body and emphasized the importance of taking care of oneself. “I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and to fixing my body,” she wrote. “It may not be a fancy facelift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck.” The 46-year-old artist’s surgery comes after she faced physical demands from her high-energy performances, including aerial stunts and acrobatics during concerts.
While Pink did not specify the cause of her neck injury, her rigorous performance style often includes singing while in motion, which can take a toll on her body. She is set to perform at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse in 2024, showcasing her signature blend of pop, rock, R&B, and dance music.
Looking ahead, Pink shared her hopes for the new year: “I want to say Happy New Year’s to everyone. I am so happy to say goodbye to the snake year and welcome in the horse.” She acknowledged the hardships of 2025, describing it as a year that ranged from “absolutely devastating to mildly annoying,” yet also highlighted moments of beauty and joy.

As she enters 2026, Pink is determined to focus on positivity. “I know that 2026 is going to be better because that is the choice that I have made,” she stated. In her message, she encouraged her followers to pursue happiness, acknowledging that not everyone has the same opportunities. “I will work this year to help preserve the choices of others to make for themselves and their families,” she added.
Pink’s career has spanned over two decades, and this year marks the 25th anniversary of her acclaimed album, Mizzundazstood, which features popular tracks such as “Get the Party Started” and “Just Like a Pill.” Known for her dynamic performances, Pink combines music with breathtaking visuals and choreography, drawing large crowds and solidifying her status as an influential artist.
Her tour manager, Nick Cua, praised her unique approach to live performances. “There isn’t another artist that does what she does,” he said. “It’s an amazingly entertaining show and high energy.” As Pink prepares for her upcoming concerts, fans can expect the same level of excitement and artistry that has characterized her career.
