PINK GETS THE PARTY STARTED IN LONDON

SEND TO A FRIEND

23 MARCH 2006

US pop starlet Pink has whipped up a storm in the British capital by giving an explosive performance in the intimate nightspot Dingwalls. Get The Party Started has been the singer's biggest hit to date, and she did just that when she took to the stage on Wednesday night with a dominatrix whip in her hand.

The 26-year-old, who gave the surprise concert to launch her new album I'm Not Dead, was on knock-out form throughout the gig. With oversize glasses and a black jacket to complement her red frock, the chanteuse delivered a series of her most popular tracks in rip-roaring style. Even the scantily clad pole dancers who joined her on stage had their work cut out in trying to keep pace with the energetic songstress.

Her show was a dazzling success with the small group of fans and industry insiders lucky enough to get a ticket. The chart-topping star continuously joked with members of the audience, grabbing their hands and thanking them for going along, in between songs.

It looks set to be a big year for the chanteuse, with a major movie appearance coming hot on the heels of her new album. The performer, who previously appeared in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, is playing one of her childhood heroes in the forthcoming Janis Joplin biopic The Gospel According To Janis.

And the singer, who has included a political song on her new disc, says she intends to put more effort into humanitarian causes, too. "I guess I've pretty much done everything I wanted to do since I was six years old, but now that I'm 26, my goals have completely changed," she explained. "Every year I care a little bit less about my drama and a little bit more about the world. As far as the tabloids go, I've done it all. But as far as the world, I've done nothing. I've got so far to go."
