July 16, 2010, Nuremberg, Germany. According to Pink (30-year-old Alecia Beth Moore), she was "a little embarrassed" and apologized to her fans who had shown up to see her perform. She said that the reason she fell is she was incorrectly clipped to a safety harness. She went on to say that she had no serious problems, no broken bones, just a pretty bruised ego.
The star slipped out of a harness which was supposed to carry her across the crowd. Instead, she was dragged off the stage and into a into a crowd control barricade. There is a video clip shot by an audience member (http://www.thedailybeast.com/video/item/pink-falls-on-stage) of her two assistants helping her into the harness just before the incident, but their costumes blocked the view of the procedure. As she was about to be pulled into the air over the fans, she raises her arms into the air to make an "X", possibly a 'no-go' sign for the fly crew. She is then pulled forward and you can here her say "no-no..." and then the harness comes loose and drags her off of the stage along with two assistants that appear to be entangled in the fly lines. You see her stage right assistant being flung off the stage and into the audience. There is no news available regarding injuries to the assistants or audience members.
Pink was reported to have argued a bit about leaving during her concert, but was obviously in pain and knew that all medical precautions had to be taken (smart girl!). She climbed back up onto the stage so that fans could see she was not injured seriously, and was then taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for observation. The concert in was halted.
On the way to the hospital she twittered: "To all my nurnberg fans - I am so so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarrassed and very sorry. I'm in ambulance now but I will b fine,".
"Didn't get clipped in2 harness correctly, drug me off stage, fell in2 barricade. Getting xrays. I hope it at least looked cool!!!"
Later, she wrote on Twitter: "Nothing's broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore."
She also apologized to fans for having to cut her concert short.
She later tweeted: "Full steam ahead people. No pain, no gain. or is it no brain, no pain? either way, I will be on that stage, even if I have to crawl."
Carey Hart, Pink's husband, blogged to fans: "Fyi, @pink is out of the hospital and all good. Just got the sh** kicked out of her by the barrier. Steel barrier-1 Pink-0"
