Pink Stopped Her Concert to Hug and Take Selfies With a Grieving Fan
After postponing a few of her Australia Beautiful Trauma Tour dates because of dehydration and a gastric virus, Pink is back and giving fans shows they'll never forget. During her August 22 show in Brisbane, Pink stopped her concert after she noticed a poster made by 14-year-old Leah Murphy, one of her fans.
Leah was supposed to attend the concert with her mom, Debbie, but sadly, her mom passed away in June. Instead, Leah attended with her aunt, Katrina Donkin, who helped her make posters for the concert.
One of the posters had a photo of Leah and her mom along with a blushing emoji. Next to the picture and emoji, Leah wrote, "Hi, my name's Leah. I'm 14 years old and I just lost my beautiful mum. I would love a hug...please!"
After Leah, Katrina, and neighboring fans waved the posters to try to get Pink's attention, Pink saw the poster and immediately stopped her show to step off the stage and meet Leah. Katrina said the audience made a path so Leah could get to the front of the stage and meet Pink, and when she did, she got the hug she wanted. Pink also took selfies with a tearful Leah, held her for what "felt like 20 seconds," and told her, "It's going to be alright."
Can someone pass some tissues, please!?
"She's just a huge, huge fan of Pink, and so was her mom, so it was just amazing she [Pink] took the time to give her a hug," Katrina said. "I haven't seen her smile so much since," she added.
After Pink climbed back on stage, she reportedly said, "everyone call your mom."
