Pink has been announce as the host of the upcoming 2026 Tony Awards.
The three-time Grammy award winner will make her debut as emcee for the awards on 7 June at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
“It is the honour of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest-working people in showbiz,” Pink gushed of the gig.
“Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together; it is a community that is supportive and inclusive, and full of talent and love. These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world.”
While Pink hasn’t made an appearance on Broadway, she has had 15 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four No 1 songs, and is known for her acrobatic, ceiling-swinging live sets.
She added, “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter.’ When I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys, and I’m really, really excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”
Tony Award producers hailed Pink as “a fearless artist whose powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence, and undeniable authenticity embody the very spirit of live performance and theatre”.
