Grammy Award-winning singer Pink is now opening up about her battle with coronavirus, the deadly pandemic that both she and her 3 year-old son Jameson were able to overcome last month.
Pink discussed her and Jameson’s “physically and emotionally challenging” battle with the virus in a new essay written for NBC News.
“Battling COVID-19 along with my three-year-old son was the most physically and emotionally challenging experience I have gone through as a mother,” wrote Pink, 40. “Weeks after receiving our test results, my son was still ill and feverish. It was a terrifying time, not knowing what might come next.”
“But our story is not unique; there are mothers all over America, and the world, that are facing this same uncertainty every single day,” she added. “Not every family, especially those living on reservations, or in refugee camps, slums, or favelas, are able to practice social distancing. In many parts of the world it can take hours just to access water, and even then, soap may be an impossible luxury.”
Pink shocked the world in early April when she revealed that she and her son had tested positive for COVID-19. She later revealed that she would be donating $1 million to COVID-19 relief, according to Daily Mail.
“This Mother’s Day, as you hold your babies tight, I encourage you to think about all the mamas around the world who still need our help,” she concluded her essay.

This comes after Pink opened up about the “terrifying” asthma attack she suffered while battling coronavirus.
“It was terrifying at one point,” Pink said. “I’ve had really, really bad asthma to the point where sometimes I end up in the hospital. I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t breathe. I needed my nebulizer for the first time in 30 years. I couldn’t function without it. That’s when I started to get really scared.”
Pink went on to say that things got so bad that she wasn’t sure if she would survive.
“Wow, all this crazy stuff I did, and this is it?” the singer remembered thinking. “This is the way it ends?
