After being forced to postpone four of her Sydney shows on doctor’s orders, after falling ill and suffering from a gastric virus and dehydration, the extent of Pink’s health issues have now been revealed.

Live Nation’s Michael Coppel said the American singer, 38, became ‘seriously ill’ on Monday before her scheduled show, and ‘couldn’t breathe and was doubled over in pain.’

‘She suffered very serious attacks. She couldn’t breathe and was doubled over in pain and had to be taken to hospital in an emergency ambulance,’ Michael told The Herald Sun. 

He revealed the Beautiful Trauma singer left hospital on Tuesday night and is ‘still quite weak.’

He added that they understand the frustrations of disgruntled fans over the cancelled shows, but said they’re happy to give Pink time off to recover.
