Pink suffers feedback issues at Cyndi Lauper holiday benefit
Pink battled through sound problems on Saturday (07Dec13) as she kicked off Cyndi Lauper's third annual charity concert in New York.
The So What hitmaker decided to pay tribute to the veteran pop star by performing an acoustic version of Lauper's classic Time After Time at the Beacon Theatre bash, but the set was marred by loud feedback noise.
The issues prompted Pink to plead with audio technicians, "Stop,
please make it stop, it's making my head angry."
The problems were quickly fixed, allowing fans to enjoy an early
Christmas celebration, with Swedish rockers The Hives teaming up
with Lauper for a rendition of Christmas Duel, while she returned
to the stage for four more collaborations, including a cover of
John Lennon's Imagine with Josh Groban, and festive favourite Home
for the Holidays with Nelly Furtado, according to The Hollywood
Reporter.
The quirky singer closed the Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the
Holidays show by spreading a little more seasonal cheer with Feels
Like Christmas, and her own hits Girls Just Want to Have Fun and
True Colors.
The concert, which also featured appearances from Susan Sarandon
and Rosie O'Donnell, was held to benefit homeless youths in the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
Pink wasn't the only singer to suffer sound problems over the
weekend - Selena Gomez stormed off stage after severe microphone
difficulties disrupted her performance at the Jingle Ball concert
in Los Angeles on Friday night (06Dec13).
