Separated Shoulder Forces P!nk Off The Trapeze



Pink has quit the trapeze act she performed at the MTV Video Music Awards - because she could only perform it on painkillers. The singer has revealed she separated her shoulder the night before the start of her tour and the high-flying number was just too much for her.

She explains, "It took everything in me to get through those shows. I was in so much pain... It was the first time I ever took a pain pill onstage."

Pink almost braved the pain one last time for her hometown show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - but was advised to keep her feet on the ground.

She tells Women's Health magazine, "I wanted to do the trapeze routine so badly, but I just couldn't. I know my body.

"The last thing I want is for two, five, 10 years from now, not to be able to pick up my child because I was stubborn."

Performing the routine at the MTV VMAs was enough for her: "I did it on television. I proved to myself that I could do it in the first place."
