P!nk has us all in tears as she surprises two super fans
We're not crying, you're crying!
To celebrate International Women's Day the amazing P!nk joined Hits Radio's Fleur East in surprising some young fans, who thought they were at Hits HQ to talk to Fleur about the importance of positive female role models.
As they were telling Fleur why they love P!nk and what a role model she is to them, the pop star surprised them, leaving the pair speechless.
Before surprising the girls, Fleur asked them what they liked about the 'Trustfall' singer, and they explained: "How she's just so outgoing and how she says what she thinks..." as well as being strong physically and mentally.
Fleur told the girls how P!nk had heard about them and played a pre-recorded video for them, before the singer sneaked into the room to surprise them, bringing tears to everyone's eyes!
Watch the emotional moment when P!nk surprises her fans:
P!nk put the girls at ease before they started to ask her some great questions.
Why did P!nk want to be famous?
When asked why she wanted to become "such a big idol", P!nk explained she wanted to get out of her town. "I loved singing, I love music and dancing, even though I'm not very good at it, and I just really wanted to be a singer, and write songs and take over the world," P!nk explained.
What was it like making the 'Trustfall' video?
Talking about one of her recent songs, the title track to her album 'Trustfall', P!nk revealed what it was like to record the music video saying: "It was SO fun! I was like a stuntwoman, I got to ride dirt bikes on the street...I got to fly over a cliff, which was really scary and I didn't want to do it, but I did it and, I got to dance in the street, in this town that was not really a town, it was a fake town... It was really awesome!"
What is P!nk scared of?
P!nk also revealed her biggest fear was Great White Sharks, telling the girls never to watch the film Jaws! As well as sharks, the singer opened up about a fear she tried to conquer recently in her 'Trustfall' video, explaining: "I was afraid of heights and that’s why I started doing silks, because I wanted to conquer that fear.
"I don’t think I’ve conquered it, I’m still afraid, I was still questioning all of my choices when I was dangling over that cliff (in the ‘Trustfall’ music video), it was fun!"

What is The Female Lead?

RAYE then won another award at the 2025 ceremony, for best R&B Act.

She's written for a lot of successful artists in the past, but it was 2024 when Charli xcx's songwriting talent really got noticed!
