'Free tickets for life': Internet amused as singer Pink stops Sydney concert after fan goes into labor

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: In a heartwarming moment during her blockbuster Australian tour, global pop icon Pink briefly stopped her explosive Sydney concert on Friday night, February 9, after realizing a fan had gone into labor in the middle of the setlist, as per PEOPLE.

Showing her instinctive wit and compassion before a packed stadium crowd, the charismatic singer lightened the mood with some timely humor about the song choices that seemed to have induced the birth. She then offered encouragement to the expectant mother before seamlessly transitioning into a poignant duet with her daughter.

Pink was midway through her set when a woman went into labor

The dramatic scene unfolded during Pink's first of several Australian dates on her 'Summer Carnival Tour', her first Down Under stadium spectacle in nearly four years.

The chart-topping talent, known for her captivating vocals, aerial stunts and advocacy for women's rights, was midway through her set when her production team signaled that a woman in the front rows had gone into labor.

Initially confused by their frantic miming, Pink asked the crowd, "Is it Alicia or Alex being born?" When it became clear a baby was on the way, Pink lobbed a few quips about 'never calling that song' as the one to spur active labor, referencing her uptempo hit 'Get the Party Started'.

In a tender moment, she then turned serious and offered encouragement, saying, "Good luck! You're gonna do great." Rather than halt the show outright, Pink seamlessly brought her 12-year-old daughter Willow onstage for an acoustic performance of their 2021 smash duet 'Cover Me In Sunshine'.

Second time that Pink encountered fan giving birth at her concert

In an astonishing coincidence, this is the second time in recent months that Pink has encountered a fan giving birth at her concert. Last August in Boston, she carried on with her set as Angela Mercer went into labor and walked a mile from the stadium to the hospital to deliver her baby boy.

The iconic rockstar took it all in endearing stride, cementing her reputation as an entertainer who connects profoundly with everyday people. Since rising to fame in the early 2000s, the multi-platinum singer has built a fiercely loyal fanbase globally through her outspoken authenticity and feel-good anthems about self-love and empowerment.
