US Singer Pink taken to hospital after stage fall

BERLIN – A spokesman for Pink's concerts in Germany says the singer fell off the stage after a stunt went wrong and she underwent a checkup at a hospital.The star fell out of a harness which was supposed to carry her across the crowd, instead being dragged into a barricade.The concert in Nuremberg was halted as the 30-year-old was taken to hospital to be checked over.

Peter Riegert Concerts' Stefan Guentner said Friday the singer wasn't seriously injured in the incident on Thursday evening in Nuremberg.While singing "So What," Pink fell out of a harness which was supposed to carry her toward the crowd. A YouTube video shows the 30-year-old climbing back onto the stage after the incident, but the concert was halted and she was taken to a hospital.

Video footage, shot by a member of the crowd, shows the accident and Pink can be heard saying that it "really hurt".It also shows her getting back on stage so fans could see she was not seriously injured, but was then taken by ambulance to hospital.The Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour, which is travelling across Europe, is due to end later this month.

Another agency, Allgaeu Concerts, said on its website that Friday's concert in Salem, southwestern Germany, will take place as scheduled. It said: "Pink is in Salem, she's fine and is looking forward to the show."
