Global pop superstar Pink has been spotted enjoying a casual outing in New York City, marking her first public appearance since revealing she underwent major neck surgery just two weeks prior.
Post-Surgery Outing in the Big Apple
The 46-year-old singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, was seen grabbing a relaxed breakfast in the bustling city on Wednesday. She looked stylishly casual in a pair of black trousers featuring white floral details, paired with a black jacket and comfortable boots.
Carrying a small to-go box and sipping on fresh orange juice, the 'Raise Your Glass' hitmaker appeared to be taking it easy as she crossed a city street, showing positive signs of recovery following her procedure.
A Candid Health Update to Fans
Pink first shared news of her surgery in a heartfelt New Year's Eve post to her 11.5 million Instagram followers. The post featured a selfie from a hospital bed, where she flashed a cheerful smile with a white bandage visible on her neck.
In the caption, she wrote about saying goodbye to 2025 and focusing on her health. "It may not be a fancy facelift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck," she explained candidly. She humorously added, "Rock 'n' roll is a contact sport," acknowledging the physical toll of her high-energy performances.
The mother-of-two also reflected on motherhood and her commitment to her family, writing about "the business of loving my children and helping them to follow their dreams." She revealed that while she recovered in hospital, her family was enjoying a snowboarding holiday.
Life on Stage and Vocal Care
While Pink did not specify what prompted the surgery, it follows her comments in a recent Rolling Stone interview where she discussed the demands of performing. "I've never lip-synced a day in my life, and I'm a screamer, like I sing hard," she told the publication, referencing her intense, two-and-a-half hour live shows.
To protect her world-famous voice, the singer relies on organic Throat Coat tea, a remedy she passionately recommends to other performers. "I live on Throat Coat... I'm just trying to get them acclimated to the taste," she admitted.
The surgery she likely underwent is known as an ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion), a procedure designed to relieve pain from pinched nerves in the neck.
Family Life and Future Focus
Pink is married to motocross racer Carey Hart, and the couple are parents to daughter Willow, 13, and son Jameson, 9. She has previously spoken about her initial fears of motherhood, once telling People magazine, "I was terrified I would be a terrible mother." She now describes it as "the most incredible thing I've ever done."
Her daughter Willow is already showing her own musical talent, having performed with Pink on stage during the Carnival Tour in 2023 and at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. "She's got a voice, man. She's a little bird," Pink proudly gushed.
Looking ahead, the star concluded her New Year's message with a positive note for 2026, expressing her choice to focus on joy and health. Her low-key New York outing signals the first step in that recovery journey, as she trades the stage for some well-deserved rest and family time.
