Superstar singer P!nk left her Australian fans disappointed earlier this week after she made the tough decision to cancel her first of nine shows in Sydney due to illness.

Taking to her Twitter account, P!nk wrote, 'Hi my Sydney friends. It is with great frustration that I bring you this news:( Friday’s show will be postponed. I was hoping a couple of days of rest would help me kick this sick, but not at the speed I was hoping for. I appreciate your well wishes and understanding + I’m sorry.' sic

However, since then, paparazzi photos of P!nk, real name Alecia Beth Moore, have emerged online of the singer on Byron Beach with her children and her husband Carey Hart.

Certain news outlets and fans later accused the singer of cancelling her show so she could relax on the beach, but now P!nk has hit back in an angry post to Instagram.

Sharing a photo of herself on the beach, P!nk wrote, 'I don’t need to clear this up, but out of respect for my fans I will attempt it. I scheduled this tour meticulously, trying to do what was best for my children, while also putting on the best and most physically demanding and beautiful show of my life. This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children. I’ve already been sick twice (kids as well)on this Australian tour, but the first time we got sick, I was able to push through. This time, what these parasite paparazzi don’t show you, is two doctor visits in Byron on two consecutive days, antibiotics, steroids, Vick’s, nose spray, throat spray, more steroids, NyQuil, a screaming baby in the middle of the night, every night, while mama gives him warm baths and tells her daughter everything is fine.'

She then added, 'You can think whatever you want, it’s your right, but I have never taken advantage of any one in my entire life. I have never f----d off while disrespecting hard working people who spend money to come see me play. I have never phoned in a single tour, I have an impeccable record for not cancelling. I mother with everything I have whilst handling all the rest. The snark in this is unbelievable and makes me long for a nicer world. I’m doing the absolute best I can, and you can believe it or not.'

The mum-of-two went on to say, 'What they don’t show you in this picture is me drinking water and lying down while my friends try to entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move. I will see everyone tomorrow whether I’m better or not, and the postponed show will be rescheduled. As I said, I’m sorry to the real fans who this situation has affected. Onwards and upwards.' sic

Well said, P!nk! 👊
