Pink took to social media to share an update on her health after it was announced earlier in the day that her concert in Switzerland on Wednesday, July 3 would be canceled.

The 44-year-old's team shared a statement that appears when an attempt is made to purchase tickets for the show, as part of the Summer Carnival Tour, at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, revealing that she was advised on doctor's orders to not perform.

It reads: "The planned concert by P!NK at the Wankdorf Stadium Bern on July 3rd has to be canceled. It is with regret that we have to cancel P!nk's concert on Wednesday, July 3rd at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern." 

"Due to illness and after a thorough medical examination, the performance has to be canceled for the artist's well-being," it continues, with purchased tickets being refunded to concertgoers. 

"Unfortunately, the concert cannot be rescheduled due to ongoing tour planning. Tickets can be returned at the place of purchase. We deeply regret the circumstances and thank you for your understanding. We wish P!nk a speedy and full recovery."

Soon after, the singer took to Instagram with a photo of herself on stage and shared her own thoughts on the matter, writing: "I am so sorry that I have had to cancel my show in Bern this Wednesday."

"I do everything I can to ensure I can perform for you every night, but after consultation with my doctor and exploring all options available, I've been advised that I'm unable to continue with the show tomorrow."

She added: "I was looking forward to being with you and making memories with you and sharing our show with you and am so disappointed that we have to cancel. All tickets will be refunded; please visit @takk_ab_entertainment for more information."

Amid the acrobatics and soaring performances, one of the show's most tender moments comes in her rendition of "Cover Me in Sunshine" with her 13-year-old daughter Willow. However, Pink revealed recently that Willow would be leaving the tour to pursue her own dreams of becoming a theater performer, with the Glasgow shows being her last. 

She marked the moment with an emotional video of the pair, and wrote alongside it: "I promised I wouldn't cry. I DID NOT however, promise I wouldn't hyperventilate through our hug. It's wild to watch your children grow up and out of you, but I'm beyond proud. We all are. I'm gonna miss you so much."
