Pop star, Pink, has cancelled her upcoming concert in Bern, Switzerland, following doctor’s advice. The singer announced on her Instagram on Tuesday and apologized to her fans.

She, however, did not disclose the health concern which compelled her to call off the performance.

“I am so sorry that I have had to cancel my show in Bern this Wednesday…I do everything I can to ensure I can perform for you every night, but after consultation with my doctor and exploring all options available, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to continue with the show tomorrow,” she wrote on her timeline.

“I was looking forward to being with you and making memories with you and sharing our show with you and am so disappointed that we have to cancel…Sending love and health to you all, and I hope to see you again soon,” she added.

In April this year, there was some back and forth between Pink and music maker, Pharrell Williams, over the use of a business trademark. It is unclear if Pharrell Williams has responded as yet to a lawsuit filed in that regard.

Pharrell was said to be operating the trademark known as ‘P.Inc’ but singer Pink was not happy with the trademark as she contended that the name was similar to her stage name.

Legal paperwork indicated that Pink officially registered the trademark ‘PINK’ in 2001. The Give Me A Reason singer argued that Pharrell’s attempt to use a “comparable brand name” or trademark “could harm her business.”

Her lawyers claim Pharrell Williams’ ‘P.Inc’ trademark “is similar to the PINK marks in sight, sound, meaning, and commercial impression.”

They argued that Pharrell William was “likely to market and promote its goods through the same channels of trade and to the same consumers as Pink.”
