Pink Singing the National Anthem With the Flu Won the Super Bowl Before It Even Started | Droolin Dog dot Net

If performing for one of the largest audiences in the world is not already enough pressure, imagine doing it with the flu. That’s what Grammy Award-winning artist Pink had to do ahead of the Super Bowl LII Sunday when she performed the National Anthem as this year’s competitors, the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, looked on. Pink, who had a goal of performing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl after she saw Whitney Houston do so in 1991, battled through the flu Sunday — and her fans came flocking to Twitter to voice praise and admiration for singing while sick. One Twitter user said, “Anyone who can sing the national anthem while having the flu with such grace is a legend in my book.” Another simply said, “All hail Pink.” Sick and she still killed it!!! Pink is amazing. — Sarah Spain (@SarahSpain) February 4, 2018 Pink. Wow. What an anthem. #SB52 — Kimberly Jones (@KimJonesSports) February 4, 2018 Listen @Pink is a QUEEN! Anyone who can sing the national anthem while having the flu with such grace is a legend in my book.

THE FLU! All Hail Pink. https://t.co/jbhPmj08tp — Jana Barnello (@JanaWGME) February 4, 2018 Pink announced she had the flu just ahead of her performance in an Instagram post, that showed her practicing at the stadium in Minneapolis. She blamed her “two small Petri dish kids who literally cough INTO MY MOUTH” for the illness, and wrote that she “arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare.” Still, Pink wrote, she would give it her all. “I will tell you, this is one of the biggest honors of my life, singing this song in front of my family, my military family, my dad and brother and step mama and family and the world,” she added. “And the EAGLES!?!?! I promise I will do my best, as I always do.” Trying to practice the flu away. I’ve been waiting to sing this song since 1991 when I saw my idol, Whitney Houston, own this song. And now, my chance has finally come. And it just so happens that this chance comes when I have two small Petri dish kids who literally cough INTO MY MOUTH and rub their snot on my cheek. You can’t write this stuff I swear! And here we are. I’ve arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare. I will tell you, this is one of the biggest honors of my life, singing this song in front of my family, my military family, my dad and brother and step mama and family and the world. And the EAGLES!?!?! I promise I will do my best, as I always do. As far as the gremlins that got me into this mess, you can cough at me for the rest of your lives. If it’s a contest, babies, you win. #spreadthelove #spreadthegerms #pleasegivememyvoiceback #ificansingimgonnakillit A post shared by P!NK (@pink) on Feb 3, 2018 at 12:37am PST It appeared Pink was still battling the flu just moments before she was set to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl Sunday night. Some eagle-eyed fans (no pun intended) spotted the singer spit out what appeared to be gum or a cough drop. Pink had to get rid of that gum real fast. #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/V2xV8tEdqj — Chat Sports (@ChatSports) February 4, 2018 It was a cough drop she has the flu. No Pink slander will be allowed on my timeline tonight. https://t.co/H7WbZuQtbF — Anacani Gallegos (@AnacaniGee) February 4, 2018 Pink taking her gum out of her mouth before singing the national anthem.
