Global music sensation Pink ushered in the new year not at a glamorous party, but from a hospital bed, sharing a powerful message of resilience and self-care with her fans. The singer posted a photo from her hospital room, sporting a bandaged neck and a bright smile, revealing she had undergone surgery to address a spinal issue.
A New Year Begins with Surgery and Reflection
The 'So What' singer disclosed that she had an operation to replace two discs in her neck. In a candid social media update, she framed the procedure not as a cosmetic enhancement but as a necessary step to honor her body. "I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and to fixing my body," Pink wrote. She added that while it wasn't a "fancy facelift," the surgery gave her "two new shiny discs" and a "new scar" as a reminder to appreciate her physical vessel.
Alone on New Year's Eve with a Hopeful Heart
In a touch of her characteristic humour, Pink revealed her family had gone on a snowboarding trip, leaving her to ring in 2026 solo in her hospital room. Despite the unconventional start, her message was overwhelmingly positive and forward-looking. She expressed gratitude for the transition from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese zodiac, choosing to believe 2026 will be a better year in all aspects.
Her post delved into her aspirations for the coming months, emphasizing personal and collective well-being. "I hope and pray every person can make that wish, have that choice. I know that isn't a reality for some," she stated, pledging to work towards preserving choices and the pursuit of happiness for others.
Choosing Joy and Moving Onwards
Pink's New Year's resolution is clear: a conscious choice for joy and positivity. She urged her followers to not be afraid to take care of themselves and others. Ending on an emotional and motivational note, she quoted her father, writing, "#onwardsandupwards, as my father used to say."
Her final wish for everyone was to "experience more joy than sorrow, more sunshine than rain, more love than hatred." Using vivid imagery tied to the zodiac shift, she encouraged all to "shed that old snake skin" and "find our horsepower" for the Year of the Horse.
