Rock Hall Labels P!nk “Gravity-Defying”

Again, P!nk will have to wait to see if her nomination turns into an induction. But for now, she was happy as the Rock Hall described her as “gravity-defying” in a separate post. “Pink fused rebellion with radical honesty — blending pop, rock, and R&B into songs that hit like a gut punch and a pep talk in the same breath, backed by gravity-defying live performances that have sold out arenas and stadiums worldwide for over two decades.”

Highlighting her achievement in selling over 135 million albums, the Rock Hall concluded, “With over 135 million records sold and sharp social commentary woven throughout her catalog, she has never once compromised the voice or the message.”

As for the other singers standing alongside Pink as Rock Hall nominees: 

Whether or not she ultimately hears her name called on induction night, Pink’s influence on modern pop and rock is already firmly cemented for the fans who have grown up with her fearless honesty and powerhouse performances.
