  • Story Text: U.S. pop star Pink is back on stage and continues her Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour throughout Europe twenty-four hours after being hospitalised following her fall on stage.
    U.S. singer Pink continued her Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour in southern Germany on Friday night (July 16), a day after she was rushed to a hospital when the harness supposed to lift her into the air at a gig in Nuremberg instead sent her shooting off stage into a barrier.
    Pink's open air concert at Salem castle, near Lake Constance on the border with Switzerland went ahead as planned after the singer was released from medical care with only minor injuries a day earlier.
    "It was super!," said Pink fan Christian Borngraeber after the concert, adding "we were here at Salem castle for the first time and with a star like Pink, it was absolutely fantastic although we couldn't see that well.
    Borngraeber said Pink's concert was "definitely to be recommended. The show was great and Pink was in a great mood despite her cancellation yesterday."
    Following her fall from the stage in Nuremberg, Pink had posted messages on Twitter saying she was "seriously sore" and apologised to fans for breaking off the concert on Thursday.
    "Didn't get clipped in2 harness correctly, drug me off stage, fell in2 barricade," Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, wrote on Twitter. "I hope it at least looked cool!!!"
    Another Pink fan, Marion Leppmaier, called the concert "a great performance, a fantastic show, worth her money!"
    The singer's tour is due to end later this month.
