Pop superstar Pink rang in 2026 not on stage or at a glamorous party—but from a hospital bed. The 44-year-old singer spent New Year’s Eve solo after undergoing neck surgery to replace two damaged spinal discs, a move she described as both humbling and healing.
In a candid Instagram post, the “Just Give Me a Reason” hitmaker shared a selfie from her hospital room, joking that it wasn’t a “fancy facelift” but “two shiny new discs” because “rock ’n’ roll is a contact sport.” Fans flooded her post with love and admiration for her trademark humor and resilience, while celebrities like Mariah Carey sent messages of support.
The surgery addressed a chronic neck issue caused by years of high-intensity, acrobatic performances—one of the reasons Pink remains one of pop’s most electrifying live acts. Despite the pain and recovery ahead, she appeared upbeat, calling the procedure a “gift to my body” and a reminder to honor her health after what she called a “nightmare” year in 2025.
As Pink recovered in her hospital room, her husband Carey Hart and their kids, Willow and Jameson, were off snowboarding for the holiday. But the singer didn’t dwell on the separation. Instead, she reflected on the new year with optimism, writing, “I know 2026 is going to be better because that is the choice I have made.” Her words struck a chord with fans, who praised her authenticity and strength.
Pink also looked back on 2025 as a roller coaster year filled with heartbreak, loss, and self-discovery. She described shedding “old snake skin” and embracing renewal, tying her message to the Year of the Horse’s energy. “Let’s not be afraid to take care of ourselves and others,” she wrote. “I choose joy, and I leave behind the hurt.”
Through vulnerability and grit, Pink turned her hospital stay into a statement of self-love and perseverance. Her message was clear: healing isn’t weakness—it’s courage. As 2026 begins, the singer seems more determined than ever to protect her health, her happiness, and her joy.
