Pretty in Pink: Pink's life and career through the years
Pink, who played the Schott during her 2019 "Beautiful Trauma" tour, burst onto the scene more than 20 years ago with the R&B-flavored "There You Go."
Her distinctive contralto can be heard on hits such as "So What," "Try," "Just Give Me a Reason," "Just Like Fire," "Just Like a Pill," "Sober," "Family Portrait," "Raise Your Glass," "What About Us," "Never Not Gonna Dance Again" and many more.
Her long list of collaborations include genre-jumping collaborations with artists including Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Brandi Carlile, Sting, Kenny Chesney, Nate Ruess, Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton and 2001's hit cover of the Labelle song, "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim and Mya, recorded for the "Moulin Rouge!" soundtrack.
She also recorded a well-received folk album in 2014 with City and Colour (Dallas Green) as You+Me.
Last year, the 45-year-old touring powerhouse, humanitarian, activist and philanthropist sold nearly 3 million tickets and grossed a staggering $350 million across Europe, the UK, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
Notably, the 2023 Summer Carnival Tour emerged as a standout, securing its position as one of the top- grossing tours of 2023, according to Billboard magazine.
This tour also will feature special guests The Script and KidCutUp, who have opened for Pink on previous tours.
A documentary, "Pink: All I Know So Far," follows her on the "Beautiful Trauma" tour — which brought more than 150 shows to 18 countries — as she juggles the multiple roles of performer, mother, wife and boss. Released on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, the film features footage from the road, behind-the-scenes interviews and personal family moments.
The soaring show-woman is also famous for her raw, revealing lyrics, frequently torn from the pages of her own life, including her relationship with husband Carey Hart, a former professional freestyle motocross competitor and motorcycle racer.
The couple has two children, daughter Willow, 13, with whom Pink recorded and performs "Cover Me in Sunshine," and 7-year-old son, Jameson, who often can be spotted in the wings at his mom's shows.
