PINK was cursing her booze ban as she kicked off her Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour in Germany.
I caught up with her backstage in Cologne on Saturday night, and she told me how nervous she was about performing some terrifying, pant ruining acrobatic stunts.
She said: “I’m not allowed to drink on tour. I wish I did as I’m so nervous about tonight. I’ve only practised it once!”
Pity, the last time she was in Germany she got stuck in and drank four one-litre steins.
“I’m no puker,” she said. “I just lie in bed and my head spins around.”
Flying high … Pink performs stunt
Pink’s ability to handle her stomach came in handy at the RheinEnergieStadion when she exploded on to the stage out of a cannon and suspended by balloons.
Both TAKE THAT and BRITNEY SPEARS have had circus themes – but Pink performs ALL the risky moves herself.
Her show is so dangerous she’s been insured for £680,000 for when she headlines the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park in July.
Pink scored a lot of points with 52,000 Cologne fans as she went through death-defying manoeuvres.
At one point she pulled herself up two red curtains and spun around in the air, continuing to sing upside down.
Her medley featuring My Generation by THE WHO, GREEN DAY’s Basket Case and Roxanne by THE POLICE – performed inside an inflatable ball – was another highlight.
Pink’s big encore was floating Peter Pan-style above the crowd.
Expect more stunts when her tour arrives in the UK on June 11.
Wowsers.
She is one brave lady.
I think her insurers might want to up her value.
ROCK chick Pink was in need of some Dutch courage as her Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour kicked off.
Pop’s wildest chick pulled out all the stops, with death- defying acrobatics.
And before stepping out on stage in Cologne, she told me: “I want a drink but I can’t before a show and then do acrobatics.
“I’m scared as I’ve only rehearsed one day. I was terrified going through my insurance details.”
Unbelievably, the toned and talented singer claimed to be “chubby” and giggled: “I don’t work out before the tour starts. I start off chubby and get skinny by the end of it.
Sitting in her dressing room, Pink was clearly nervous about her first Carnival show, which is a new and improved version of her 2009 Funhouse tour.
She continued: “You’ve got to make it bigger and bolder and brasher or what’s the point?
“Sometimes I regret not keeping it simple, though.”
The singer has fond memories of her previous visit to Germany and revealed: “Last time I was here I had four pints of local lager and my husband had five and puked
“I’m not a puker – I can hang upside down, after all. I just spin out, go to sleep and forget about it the next day.”
Pink, 30 – married to motocross racer Carey Hart, 34 – has promised more sensational stunts for her headline slot at London’s Wireless Festival on July 2.
She promised: “Wireless is going to be amazing. We’ll mix things up so it’s different. I can’t wait. Watch out, London.”
Bring it on lady – I will be down at the front moshing.
