Music star Pink was rushed to hospital during a concert in Germany on Thursday following an aerial stunt which went awry.
The 30-year-old was attached to a harness that allows her to fly through the air while performing but it was not attached properly on one side, tipping the balance and sending her forcefully into a barricade on the stage in Nurnberg.
The 'Stupid Girls' singer sent a message to her fans from an ambulance, apologising that the show ended midway and confirming that is recovering well.
She Tweeted: "I'm so so so sorry to end the show that way. I'm embarrassed Â…I'm in ambulance now but I will b fine. Didn't get clipped in2 harness correctly, drug me off stage, fell in2 barricadeÂ…I hope it at least looked cool (sic)!!!"
An hour later, Pink posted an update saying she had not been seriously injured: "nothing's broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore (sic)."
Pink suffered a separated shoulder last year while performing a trapeze sequence onstage. She is currently on the European leg of her Funhouse Summer Carnival world tour.
