Pink's Summer Carnival Tour is coming to Columbus in October, but recent health concerns raise uncertainty surrounding the singer's remaining tour dates.

The Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter announced Tuesday that she had to cancel her July 3 tour stop in Bern, Switzerland due to health issues. Without going into specifics, the artist explained that "after consultation with my doctor and exploring all options available, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to continue with the show tomorrow," she wrote in an Instagram post. Tickets for the show will be refunded and no future dates have been announced.

Concert canceled:Pink's undisclosed health issue and the need for medical privacy

Last summer Ohio fans saw Pink perform at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, and now we're just a few short months away from her Oct. 9 performance at the Schottenstein Center. While no official announcement of future cancellations has been made, it remains unclear whether the show will go on.

Is Pink's Columbus concert still happening?

The pop star many have hit pause on one of her European stops, but her Columbus show appears to still be part of her 2024 Summer Carnival Tour lineup. It's not the first time she's had to cancel a performance on this tour. Last year, the singer postponed multiple tour dates in Tacoma, Washington and Vancouver due to health issues like a respiratory infection and family medical issues, as reported by People. Tickets for the Columbus show are available for purchase on Ticketmaster, with VIP packages starting around $500.

P!nk's "2023 Summer Carnival" was one of last year's top-grossing tours. The singer, who performed at the Schottenstein center in 2013 and 2019, will return to the venue on Oct. 9.

What is the Pink Summer Carnival 2024 concert like?

Her Summer Carnival shows can be described as whimsical, over the top, and memorable. Her 2023 Cincy show embodied the essence of a carnival, as she was suspended about 100 feet in the air donning festive and bright colors, and of course, pink. Her classic hits like "Raise Your Glass," "Try" and "Never Gonna Not Dance Again," were among the songs she performed.

The tour is deemed a massive success, having grossed a more than $250 million since it began, according to Billboard.
