Although lockdown was good for her voice, the 'What About Us' hitmaker admits it made her gain weight because she spent most of her time cooking and eating.

AceShowbiz - Pink became 36lbs heavier during the COVID-19 pandemic because she couldn't stop eating homemade bread. While the lockdown period helped her voice because she got a break from performing, the "Perfect" singer admits it took a toll on her body because she was already inactive after undergoing operations on her neck and hip and then spent her time in the kitchen.
"Having breaks is good for my voice. Not so good for the body. Especially during COVID - I gained 36 lbs. All I did was make sourdough and then eat the sourdough. And then I had not just the hip surgery but double disc replacement in my neck," she reflected to Variety.
But the 43-year-old star now feels stronger and better than ever ahead of her upcoming world tour in support of her ninth studio album "Trustfall". She added, "Now I'm the bionic woman. I've lost those 36 pounds, and I am stronger than I've ever been in my life. And I'm ready to go, and I'm ready to get the hell out of here. I've been home way too long."
Pink - who has daughter Willow, 11, and son Jameson, six, with husband Carey Hart - is determined to keep "pushing it" to be better, and doesn't think getting older should be an excuse to slow down in any aspect of her life.
She said, "I saw Tina [Turner] when she was 69 in Christian Louboutins, running arÂÂound the stage, full choreography, like a crazy person. And I thought to myself, 'S***.' So now I have no excuse. I look at the greats and I wanna keep up."
"I want to keep pushing it and be better - a better human, a better mom, a better daughter, a better sister, a better performer, a better writer. And age works against you, right? But at 43, I'm stronger than I've ever been in my life. I could kick my 33-year-old a**."
