THE HYPE - P!NK
P!NK P
!nk, the Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and pop culture icon, has announced that she will tour Europe for the first time in two years, hitting the LG Arena on 21 & 22 April 2013.
P!nk is known around the world as one of the most captivating live performers of her generation. Across her Funhouse and Summer Carnival tours in 2009 and 2010 respectively, P!nk performed to 2.9 million people over 194 dates. The Truth About Love Tour supports the release of her new album, The Truth About Love, which entered the iTunes charts at #1 globally upon its release. Born Alecia Beth Moore, Pink grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. At just 16, Pink got her first break when she signed her first record deal with LaFace Records. Current American X-Factor judge and record producer Antonio "L.A." Reid, co-founder of LaFace Records signed her as part of Choice, a female R &B/pop trio. However just two years later, without much success Choice disbanded and Reid encouraged P!nk to pursue a solo career. It was around this time that she dyed her hair pink and chose the name to match. Since her debut in 2000, P!nk has released 7 albums (Can’t Take Me Home, M!ssundaztood, Try This, I’m Not Dead, Funhouse, Greatest Hits… So Far!!!, The Truth About Love), sold over 40 million albums, 65 million singles (nearly 20 million digital tracks) as well as over 1 million DVDs worldwide. In addition, 15 of P!nk’s singles have reached #1 in at least one or more countries. She is the recipient of three Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards, two MTV Europe Awards, two People’s Choice Awards, and many more including being named 2009 number one pop musician of the decade and in 2012 VH1 named P!nk number 10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music. P!nk released her 7th studio album last year, The Truth About Love, which has garnered fantastic reviews worldwide. The first single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” has topped the UK radio airplay charts and sold more copies here in its first week than any of her previous hits. Still only 33, it seems P!nk has been around forever, and I’m sure we will be seeing more and more of this incredible performer for many years to come.
