Alecia Moore has just returned from a particularly hectic school drop off. Her 11-year-old daughter, Willow, wanted to take her bike to ride home, so some Jenga-style dexterity was required to accommodate the bicycle, her six-year-old son Jameson's backpack and the family dog in the car. Factor in a minor delay after an unscheduled toilet break for her son before the journey got underway.
She now has a one-hour window for a Zoom work call before taking Jameson to his new favourite sport, basketball. That work? She's one of the music world's most authentic and successful superstars: singer, songwriter and audience mass seducer Pink. She's sold 60 million albums and 75 million singles thanks to anthems "Let's Get the Party Started", "So What", "Who Knew", "Just Give Me a Reason" and "What About Us".
But it's as a live performer that Pink has truly carved her own path. On tour, she doesn't limit her frequent flying to aeroplanes but uses her highly developed aerial skills to belt out songs while literally zip-lining above the audience.
It's common knowledge there's a special bond between Pink and Australia. As a bratty youngster promoting her first album, 2000's Can't Take Me Home, she found herself playing a noisy Melbourne nightclub, singing her early hits live over a backing tape. "Instead of 'Pink! Pink! We love you!' it was 'We can't fucking hear you! Tell them to turn it up!" recalls Pink. "I just thought, 'You are my people.' She's talking to marie claire from a room at the family ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
It’s an 81-hectare property that includes several vineyards – a major selling point for the wine connoisseur. In her office there’s a guitar, a smile on her face and a new album to promote, her ninth release, Trustfall.
