Pink has hit out at fans on her blog after receiving hatemail due to a cancelled gig.

She compared the offending fans to 'rabid dogs' and made no secret of the fact that she won't perform while ill, saying that she has already been giving concerts despite being struck down by the ROTA virus.

Writing on her official website, the singer said, "I am getting a lot of hate mail from some of you, not all. But to those of you that expect and feel entitled to perfection; Have a look at my track record. I go on stage and pour my f**king heart and body out on that stage.

"I ruin my body and my vocal chords, make myself sicker, come hell or high water.' I am a human being, therefore I am able to catch illness. It is beyond my control- and I can't apologize for that."

She continued, "And you know what I've been performing through the last week? ROTA virus. Look it up. I challenge any one of you to do what I do while sick with that. You couldn't do it.

"The next time I schedule dates- ill have to say to myself- 'if, God forbid I have to cancel one show, those fans will turn on me like rabid dogs and question the moral fabric of my character."

However she did make sure to thank the fans who have not sent her abuse as she finished the letter. "For the loyal and understanding fans, I am so so sorry if I've hurt you in any way. For the rest of you — Kindly kiss my entire almost back to healthy ass."

Pink cancelled a concert in Birmingham on 22 April after she became ill and tweeted out an apology at the time.
