Pinkis heading into 2026 with an upbeat attitude, despite spending New Year's Eve in the hospital. After all, as she put it so tactfully, "Rock 'n' roll is a contact sport," and the singer isknown for some impressive stunt work.
The "I Am Here" singer underwent a surgical procedure to replace a pair of discs in her neck before the clock struck midnight, putting a damper on any party plans this year—but setting her up forsuccessbefore returning to the road in the coming months.
Pink Was All Smiles, All Things Considered
Shortly after midnight EST on Jan. 1, the performing artist shared a photo from her hospital bed, celebrating the end of theYear of the Snakewhile expressing her excitement to ring in the Year of the Horse.
She smiled brightly for the selfie, a deep contrast to the wrinkled hospital gown she wore and the large white bandage securing some type of medical tubing—likely a wound vac or a drain—to her neck.

"I am leaving behind all of my hurt in 2025," she declared in the caption, calling the year "a doozy." Still, she found "so much beauty" in the year, too.
"I got to wake up every day and get out of bed and go about my business," she detailed. "The business of loving my children andhelping them to follow their dreams. Showing them thatlifeis an adventure or nothing at all. Loving and laughing, cooking and dancing, crying and screaming, forgiving and apologizing, and all the rest of our beautiful messiness."
"And I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and fixing my body," she continued. "It may not be a fancy Face lift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck. A new scar, a new reminder, that I appreciate this vessel that I have and use it for all it's worth."
She went on to give thanks for her ability to make the choice to have the surgery to improve her well-being, recognizing that not everyone has that privilege. "I will work this year to help preserve the choices of others to make for themselves and their families and this very pursuit ofhappiness," she pledged. "Let's do better for ourselves and for others. Let's not be afraid to take care of ourselves and others."
