The American singer posted a photograph on Instagram showing herself smiling despite a large bandage visible on her neck, delivering an optimistic message to fans as 2026 began.<\/p>\n
“I am so happy to say goodbye to the snake year and welcome in the horse. I am leaving behind all of my hurt in 2025,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old, whose real name is Alecia Moore, is renowned for performing daring aerial stunts suspended from high wires during her concerts.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her procedure, she quipped that “rock ‘n’ roll is a contact sport” whilst describing her new implants.<\/p>\n
“It may not be a fancy Face lift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck,” she told her 11.4 million Instagram followers.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia-born artist described her surgery as “a new scar, a new reminder, that I appreciate this vessel that I have and use it for all its worth.”<\/p>\n
Pink described 2025 as “a doozy” that spanned “from absolutely devastating to mildly annoying” whilst acknowledging there had also been considerable beauty throughout the year.<\/p>\n
“I choose joy and I leave behind the hurt. I’m going to choose positive thoughts over negative ones,” she declared.<\/p>\n
The singer expressed confidence about the months ahead, stating: “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.”<\/p>\n
She pledged to “rage against the dying of the light” and continue searching for brightness despite experiencing darkness.<\/p>\n
