Pink is a 'rash' that will 'not go away'
17 February 2023
Pink joked she is a "rash" that does "not go away".
The 'Never Gonna Not Dance Again' hitmaker - who released her first single, 'There You Go, in 2000 - declared her upcoming album 'Trustfall' is a "nice two fingers for all the haters" who think she is no longer relevant but she's happy for her music to keep evolving with her life experiences.
"Each album is a chapter in my life in this experience I’m having.
“I was a little punk when I wrote 'Can’t Take Me Home' (2000 debut album) and 'Missundaztood' (the 2002 follow-up). I still feel that way at times but 'Trustfall' is right now.
“And this, my ninth album, is also a nice two fingers for all the haters that think I don’t matter.
“It’s also been a 20-year conversation between me and people all over the world just trying to figure out how to be human."
The 43-year-old star is "stoked" that she's still a successful recording artist.
She said: “It’s been therapy for me and the shows are like group therapy. And I feel nothing but grateful.
“I’m stoked. I love that I still get to do this and I still have a lot to say.”
Pink will head off on a huge global tour in support of the record and she's promised fans a balance between her classic hits and new material.
She teased: “The thing with putting a show together like mine is I want it to be amazing but I want to have fun.
“And it’s a long show too. I will try and get five or six new songs in with the favourites — keep rotating the favourites because that’s what I want to see when I go and see a show.
