Pink has revealed that she was inspired to continue making music after receiving a harrowing letter from a fan. The 13 year old girl urged the singer to "never stop", saying that her music had helped her after her grandfather began sexually abusing her following the death of her mother.
Pink told The Sun: "I remember being in Paris and talking about my childhood, my parents divorcing and I started crying during an interview. I thought I was over music and I couldn't take any more. But then, not long after, I got a letter from this girl saying her grandfather was raping her. I get chills even talking about it. I have 50 of the most insanely awful letters that remind me that this job isn't about me".
She also added that feedback like this means she no longer cares what critics say about her music: "It's crazy. Some people may say the new songs are heartache bullshit but somebody out there is going to get through their pain a little easier, and that makes me feel better".
