Grammy-winning artist Pink has opened the new year with a personal health update, revealing that she spent New Year’s Eve in the hospital undergoing neck surgery. The singer shared on social media that she had “two new shiny discs” placed in her neck in a procedure that marks a significant step in addressing physical strain from years of high-energy performing.
In her Instagram post, Pink reflected on the challenges and beauty of 2025, describing the past year as one that ranged “from absolutely devastating to mildly annoying.” She noted that the surgery was not a cosmetic choice but a necessary step in caring for her body, joking that “rock ‘n’ roll is a contact sport.” The 46-year-old emphasized the importance of appreciating her physical health and pursuing positivity in the year ahead.
While Pink’s family spent the holiday snowboarding, she marked the transition into 2026 from her hospital bed, sharing a photo of herself in a gown with a bandaged neck. She framed the experience as an opportunity to leave behind the pain of the previous year and to focus on joy, resilience, and personal growth.
“Rock ‘n’ roll is a contact sport,” he said. “And as I sit here by myself on New Year’s Eve in a hospital room while my family is happily snowboarding – I know that 2026 is going to be better because that is the choice that I have made.”
On her targets for the new year, she concluded: “I’m going to choose positive thoughts over negative ones. And I’m going to rage against the dying of the light. I’m going to reclaim my wild. And I’m going to keep searching for the light, even as I experience the darkness.”
The artist’s recent public appearances have been limited; she played a small number of shows in 2025 and postponed several other dates due to health reasons. As she recovers from the procedure, fans and supporters have rallied around her optimistic message of healing and renewal.
