Pink Battles With Flu, But Is Set To Perform National Anthem At Super Bowl LII

Even with the flu Pink, 38, will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl LII on Sunday at U.S Bank Stadium.

The singer and mother announced on Instagram that she was battling the flu while practicing for the opening ceremony of Super Bowl LII. “Trying to practice the flu away.” She posted, revealing that her children were the ones that gave her the flu. “…I have two small Petri dish kids who literally cough into my mouth and rub their snot on my cheek.”

Flu or not, Pink is taking this “dream which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare” and focusing on taking her chance at this song. “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.”

In her Instagram post, she stated how performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” is one of the biggest honors in her life. “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!?!?!”

The Philadelphia native promised that she would do her best while performing on Sunday and gave some love to the “gremlins” that got her sick. “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.”

 

Justin Timberlake is the scheduled halftime performer for Super Bowl LII in Granted, Minneapolis.
