14 April, 2013: Pink kicked off her The Truth About Love UK tour last night in Manchester - and as was to be expected, the show offered something a little more spectacular than the run of the mill pop gigs.

Pink gigs are really quite something. Not only is the 'Just Give Me A Reason' star a flawless live singer, but she is known for performing much of her shows from high above the stage, suspended on ropes - all while singing live. You wouldn't get the same from a Britney Spears concert, that's for sure.

The US star is currently enjoying huge UK success with her Fun. duet 'Just Give Me A Reason', which has taken up permanent residence inside the UK top ten, and following previous successes from her current album, 'Try' and 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss)'.
