Pink drops 100 feet on wire to land on Isle Of Wight Festival stage



Pink brought her Funhouse stage show to the Isle Of Wight Festival this evening (June 13), making a dramatic entrance from a great height to kick off the performance. The US singer began the set inside a large box suspended from a crane, then dropped down to the stage attached to wires and started singing a short version of 'Get This Party Started'.Later in the set she introduced her songwriting partner Butch Walker, who played guitar and sang with her on 'Mean' and short covers of The Who's 'My Generation', Green Day's 'Basket Case' and The Police's 'Roxanne'. During the end of 'Roxanne', Pink climbed into a huge inflatable ball and rolled around on top of the crowd before returning to the stage for the song's climax. 'I can't believe I'm playing on the same stage as Paul McCartney,' she later said. 'And he's a vegetarian too.' For her encore she was attached to more wires and sang 'So What' while performing acrobatics above the crowd between the stage and the mixing desk.

'Get This Party Started'

"Sweetheart" Pink Calls Paparazzo


Pink was so stunned when a paparazzo treated her “humanely” this morning she took to the internet to call him a “sweetheart”.
In London the singer is recently performing concerts for her Funhouse Summer Carnival world tour. She flew into the UK from Germany in the early hours of the morning, and was disgusted when she saw a photographer had found out her flight details and was waiting to snap her.
As usual, Pink begged the man to leave her alone, but she was shocked when he actually listened to her. The man put down his camera and shook the star’s hand before walking away, leaving her speechless.
“Wow, I just met the nicest paparazzo in the whole world. I said ‘please don't take my picture’ and he shook my hand and said ‘go on then’ (sic),” Pink wrote on her Twitter page.
“I've never been treated so humanely in my life. Thank you Amon. I wish more people were nice like you. What a sweetheart (sic).”
