Pink got more than she bargained for after a fan threw their mother’s late ashes on stage at the singer’s London show.

The “Meant to Be” artist, for her part, has since shared several photos of her black eye via social media while reassuring fans that she is OK.
On June 20, an Ava Max fan made his way on stage in the middle of her Los Angeles set, only to hit the “Kings & Queens” artist, 29, so hard in the face that she sustained an eye injury. (The concertgoer was promptly taken off stage by security.)
