P!nk on Touring with Babies, Performing on the Side of a Building & Olivia Newton-John Tribute

Our next guest is a multi-platinum superstar and circus lady with a new single called Never Gonna Not Dance Again on a new tour called Summer Carnival. Tickets go on sale Monday, say hello to Pink Foreign, that was uh, I'm still impressed. with that you can do that, it's crazy at a certain point. I was like what's happening, yeah, it's happening, right, this right on our single went to number one, it's got four billion streams when you're, uh, when you're not on the road, which I know you are from time to time. from time to time Where do you live?

I live about two and a half hours north of Los Angeles on a farm in a vineyard. I make wine. Do you make wine? I make very good wine. Do you really understand it? You do? yourself, you have people doing what is me and two other women. Are there any stomps that actually happen? No I did it once but there are a lot of little white spiders that live are they really there because we are an organic vineyard so there is a lot of uh wildlife I don't stop the grapes anymore yeah because you are these are you afraid of the spiders, you don't want to kill the spiders or both.

I didn't actually think about his well-being, oh you didn't, okay, at all. you uh you have you have animals be

side

s the spider we have two horses chickens although they fall like flies because they are old and um a dog called my three year old boy when he was three he named him habanero oh Mountain boy kadashi heart to your three year old son he came up with that series of names yeah, really hobby hobby is okay and hobby uh take care of the chickens or eat them, pain in the butt, he's adorable, but he's actually so annoying that they bit him. by a coyote two months ago and he could have eaten it but the coyote was like you're annoying and left I'm not kidding saved by his personality I don't even know what it would be I don't even know I don't even know what it is I can't even think of how It would sound, like a hyena being scooped out, but then he screamed and ran, came out of the vines and then a coyote came out after him and ran towards him the other way and he said, "Okay," so my husband, so I didn't know he got his vet license, he said by the way I'm joking, he said okay look it's just a scratch so I called the vet right away. and the vet said if you had waited an hour longer we would have had to cut off most of his muscle oh necrosis boy wow I was like you should talk to Carrie yeah he cared he cared Carrie tried conceal your analysis. or uh, it went well, okay, yeah, okay, don't listen to Carrie, I guess that's the moral of that story, this tour you're going on is a great tour, how many cities are you doing well in?

It's kind of a landslide and then I'll be there forever, but 21 stadiums in America, so that's my biggest thank you, oh Stadium 21, I think that's all of them. I said, I think that's all there is to America. I mean, I think my biggest store was 227. So when I say 21 I wonder, wow, family comes with you on this tour, always everywhere, yeah, that makes it so much harder, it's impossible, it's ridiculous, But they're older now, so now I tour the Willows theater schedule. It's true? Yes, we really have a lot of conversations and collaborate. um and uh, yeah, but when it was just me and her we were a new mom and we were on a 200 day tour, it's amazing because I'm super codependent and needy. and I love mimes so we are having a good time but it is also impossible because I leave the stage at 11.30 and I am like that until 2.30.

I can't sleep and I want to take her to breakfast. I don't want to miss the park in the morning, but you get to a point where you think: I'm going to kill myself, it's doing everything, I can't do everything, so you have to decide, okay? I'm going to give myself and try not to feel guilty and for me it was breakfast and I did it, I nailed it like I called these, um, these two women who were sleep coaches and I said, here's my schedule for the next ones. two years, my flight schedules. time differences can you write me a sleep schedule for my baby?

Wow and like when we get to London where when I put some on the plane when we get there how do I keep her awake do I put her to bed do I leave her? she just does whatever. I'm not very good at a free-for-all fight. I'm a Virgo, you should know that about me, um, so we wrote this whole plan and it worked brilliantly and you know she's not damaged and wow, I mean. We won't really know until yeah, I really don't know, I feel like until then, other pop star moms started calling me and saying I heard you made it and I was like, I did it, I made it and they're like.

Can you write us a playbook on what to do and so I did? I wrote a playbook on how to tour as a mom. Wow, I mean, it's a very small group. I guess posting that doesn't make much sense. All our children are screwed. I have no idea if they are, it's your fault, that's all you need to know. I have to say that I always look forward to your performances at these award shows because I think you are consistently the best, the work you put into these, the creativity. In fact, I want to ask you what you did the last time you were at the American Music Awards, this is, now, this shot is pretty impressive, especially when you realize that you're actually on the

side

of that

building

that was a lot, like that. high. up, are you there? um, I was way higher than I wanted to be, yeah, I just had Jameson, so I was really worried about my core strength dying, yeah, because you have to stay on your side all the time to be able to really sing. you live so you're really using every muscle in your body and I was so worried about not being strong enough I forgot to be afraid so I got up and Carrie who is my husband is a daredevil he said the words you can't . to say when you get up you disappoint me and that's exactly what I said when I went up and I thought you have to disappoint me and my boy who was like my bandaloop teacher told me: wait, we have three days.

I have a lot to learn. I thought, "I need to go down now for three days to do that," and then my manager said, "Well, it's paid for, so you have a five-minute break and then you go back up there." But I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the last week and I went to that same hotel and the guy who was helping me in the elevator said, hey, why the last time you were here you were outside the

building

? Yeah, how many people are you basically just saying that? There's you and Spider-Man, maybe, but there's people in their rooms who didn't know they could have been sued as a voyeur.

They're like pink, oh, that's cool, you're doing this song on the show. Sunday night that's one of them I'm doing one of them and you're also doing a kind of

tribute

to Olivia Newton John, yeah, I almost said Elton John, but I love Olivia Newton-John bad for me I just discovered. that about you oh yeah, well I'm in the age group, you know, I've seen Greece like 45 times, I wonder what song you're doing, okay, I can't, I can't tell you. You can't say it, but I'll tell you my daughter did Grease at her last production of her summer and she's teaching me the song, is it Up Tempo or like a typo desperately dedicated to you? like a song, it's a song, it's lovely.

It's like I did before uh-huh yeah no, probably not, but Willow is twisted like when I forget the lyrics to my own song. I made a bet with her once when she said those aren't the right words. It's like I wrote it. she says those aren't the words she's right yes they were always right about those things will you do Let's Get Physical? will you make a medley? Will it be Xanadu? Will it be magical? Will it be uh? It will be magical. It will be magical. I heard there's one I heard this weekend. I was listening to the 80's station on Sirius radio and they played a heart attack song that went to number two, that's no good, don't do that, okay, that's a weird song, skip that one, okay, that was .

It's in the plan no, no, it's okay, it's great to see you, thanks for being here, thanks, I can't wait to see what you do, actually, let's take a break, we'll come back to me. Pink is here, this is her. new single we'll be back
