Cover her in sunshine — not your mom’s ashes.
Pink was left gobsmacked after a concertgoer tossed a bag of their mother’s ashes on stage during her headlining set at the British Summer Time festival in London over the weekend.
“Is this your mom?” Pink, 43, asked as she picked up a plastic bag holding the cremated remains in a witness’ video posted to Twitter on Monday.
With a shocked expression on her face, Pink then admitted, “I don’t know how I feel about this,” before staggering to her feet and placing the ashes on the edge of the stage.
The pop star could also be seen shaking her hands, as if trying to clean them, behind a speaker before continuing to sing her song “Just Like a Pill” while still looking astounded.
“Someone gave their Mothers ashes to Pink. I need yall to have boundaries like girl what?!” the witness captioned the video.
Another Twitter user claimed to know the reason behind the ashes being tossed and alleged, “OK so my friends were stood [sic] near this lady and back story is..her mum couldn’t get out much as she was so ill when alive so this lady takes her ashes places.
“So she get out now it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but if it gives this woman comfort then that’s up to her. Not for me tho.”
Several other netizens replied to the clip to share their thoughts on the surprising incident.
“She handled it well cause I’d definitely be mad that someone handed me their mom’s ashes,” one person wrote, adding, “I understand why some celebrities are standoffish now.”

“This is just crazy,” a second person wrote.
“I’m so sorry, I lost it when she was singing ‘can’t stay on your life support’ while putting the ashes down,” a fan joked, quoting Pink’s song she was singing at the time.
“It was the complete look of shock/confusion on [Pink’s] face for me. She handled that well because that was really strange,” added another.
“She said where’s the hand sanny,” a jokester wrote.
“She was mortified 😂,” a fan said.
“I think she wanted her mother to watch and be happy at the Pink show 🙏🏻 so be it,” a more understanding fan added.
“i feel like security at a concert will be like going thru TSA if people don’t stop being WEIRD,” one more stated.
The jarring moment was just the latest in a string of moments where fans have been throwing items on stage.
Just last week, a thoughtless concertgoer tossed their phone at Bebe Rexha during her New York City performance. But things went south when the phone knocked her in the eye and she had to end her show early and go to the hospital where she received several stitches.
In 2022, Harry Styles was pelted with Skittles during one of his Love on Tour shows in Los Angeles and also sustained an eye injury.
That same year, Lady Gaga was hit in the head by an object thrown at her during a performance in Toronto, Canada.
Pink’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
