Pop star Pink was rushed to hospital last night after an air-stunt went wrong at her concert in Nurnberg, Germany.

The harness which was supposed to carry the singer (real name Alecia Moore) above the audience was not fastened properly by her assistants (a fact she visibly makes clear). However, the 29 year old’s calls seemed to fall on deaf ears, as she was launched – unattached – into the audience, crashing hard into the barricade. The concert was subsequently brought to an abrupt close, as she was rushed to hospital.

Pink later wrote on Twitter:

“Nothing’s broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore.

To all my nurnberg fans – I am so so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarrassed and very sorry. I’m in ambulance now but I will b fine. Didn’t get clipped in2 harness correctly, drug me off stage, fell in2 barricade. Getting xrays. I hope it at least looked cool!!!”

John Legend and The Roots have teamed up on a politically charged new album called ‘Wake Up!’. The record, which will hit stores on September 21st, will feature contributions from Melanie Fiona and Common as well as a cover of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Wholy Holy’.

There appears to be no stopping Katy Perry; the Pop starlet’s smash ‘California Gurls’, this week, extends its #1 reign on the Billboard Hot 100 to six (consecutive) weeks.

The impressive feat has seen Perry fend off competition from Eminem and Runway Rihanna‘s ‘Love The Way You Lie’ – which has had to settle for the #2 spot on the chart for three weeks in a row now. (Side note: Am I the only one who considers ‘Love The Way You Lie’ uber overrated anyway?)

Other notable Hot 100 movements include Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Your Love’ – which jumps #23-#18,  Ciara‘s ‘Ride’ – which climbs #50-#45, and Ne-Yo, who’s ‘Beautiful Monster’ ascends #60-#56.
