She rocketed onto stage for her first Sydney show 12 weeks ago and last night pop star Pink pulled down the circus tent on her Funhouse tour for the last time in Australia.
Promising more than a few surprises and some previously unseen tricks, the American two-times Grammy award-winning star hadn't lost her sparkle, despite her punishing 58-show tour schedule.
She shot through a trap-door for the opening number, Bad Influence, writhed around on the stage to Just Like a Pill and swung from a trapeze during Sober.
"Sydney! Can I take you home with me?" She hollered to the crowd.
"‘If everyone brings a VB, I’ll be stocked for a year."
The singer’s aerial tricks, a hallmark of her tour, went off without a hitch, unlike in Brisbane on June 16 when a safety cable snapped, leaving the singer suspended above the stage for about a minute.
Pink’s Australian tour broke several sales and venue records, including eclipsing John Farnham’s record for the most number of shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena in a single tour.
The tour, which has been seen by more than 660,000 people - or one in every 32 Australians - has grossed more than A$70 million.
Pink scheduled several breaks between shows during her three-month stay in Australia, but was forced to cancel one Brisbane show on July 20 because she had laryngitis.
On the micro-blogging website Twitter on Friday, Pink said she was sad to be leaving Australia.
"Sydney! Last two shows ... can u believe it? We’ve been together for 3.5 months. I feel like we’re breaking up," she wrote.
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, will return to the US this week in time for her 30th birthday on September 8.
She is married to motocross rider Carey Hart, who joined her for parts of her tour in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Newcastle.
