Visually powerful and expressive: P!nk

She is a phenomenon, this Alecia Beth Moore from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, better known as P!nk. With over forty million albums and seventy million singles sold, she ranks among the most successful women in rock, and there's a reason for that: she is not only famous for her spectacular stage shows and rebellious style but also for her profound and meaningful songs.

M!ssundaztood, the album that brought her breakthrough in 2001, gave many young women of her generation a voice: in songs like "Family Portrait" or "Just Like A Pill," she openly and vulnerably shared her own struggles, such as her parents' divorce or experiences with drugs, while always showing a fighting spirit and determination not to be defeated. She struck a chord with her successful mix of power pop, rock, alternative, and hip-hop, establishing a global career that has lost none of its momentum to this day.

Since then, P!nk has been regarded as an artist who cannot be bent. Moreover, she is known as a fearless activist, advocating for animal rights as well as equality, the LGBTQ community, and same-sex marriage. In July 2022, she released "Irrelevant," her musical commentary on the new abortion laws in the USA.

As a powerhouse with immense energy, she showcases herself in her shows, but at the same time, she does not shy away from her weaknesses and fears. This vibrant personality has been masterfully captured by American journalist Annie Zaleski in her biography Raise Your Glass. Her compelling research is complemented by over a hundred photos that show P!nk not only on stage but also in private, perfectly rounding out this multifaceted portrait.
