Pop superstar Pink on Wednesday postponed a fourth Sydney show but vowed to be back on stage Saturday following a stomach virus.

The “Whatever You Want” singer cancelled multiple concerts on the Australian leg of her Beautiful Trauma tour due to medical issues.

First, the singer revealed that she was suffering from an upper respiratory infection, prompting her to postpone a show in Sydney on Friday. After returning to the stage the following night, however, she dropped out of the show and was hospitalised on Sunday for dehydration. However, following her discharged, she was quickly readmitted to the hospital and “diagnosed with a gastric virus,” according to Live Nation, prompting her to cancel two more tour dates.

On Wednesday, the Grammy-winning artist opened up on Instagram about her health struggles and the “excruciating pain” she’s endured while down under.

“Our next show will be Saturday, and until then I will be drinking green tea and spending time with my kids,” Pink posted on Instagram. “My sincere apologies to any of the ticket holders that this has affected,” she went on to say.

Pink’s Australian tour is scheduled from July 4 to August 26.

Live Nation later said Pink would return to Sydney after the New Zealand leg of her tour to perform most of the postponed concerts. The new Sydney show dates are August 24 and September 17-19.

“Thank you for your patience, compassion and support. I look forward to rocking out with all of you as we have done for many, many years,” Pink said.
