Pink has confirmed on an interview with Zane Lowe that the tour will change for Europe...

I feel like the build up to this album has been such a rollercoaster. I was so excited, and a little shocked, when she announced the album, loved walked me home...hustle was ok but not a favourite, and I felt disappointed by can we pretend and I started to think this album wouldn't be what I was expecting. But now, after reading the reviews, I'm so so ready for this album again. TWO DAYS!!!!! But it kills me to know that the album is out there, people have heard it and are giving out reviews... and I don't have it yet :lol:

Yeah I noticed that, and I guess if he was asking 'Barbara' then no she hasn't... thats her act... her real name is Janice Connolly and she's done her own tours etc around the country, Peter Kay noticed her at final of north west act of the year in Manchester. I remember her act on the Phoenix Nights live shows being very similar, I hope she does well in BGT :D

How did nobody on the show recognise that Barbara is 'Holy Mary' from Phoenix Nights :lol: Or maybe they did and just didn't say, either way she's brilliant.

You are not alone

Review

I read that over the weekend too, so relieved!! I was worried it would all be too 'modern' for my liking #grandma :lol: SO ready for this album now! :w00t:

Some quotes from an interview with Zane Lowe... (taken from the (un)official message boards)

I've only just started watching this on Netflix, watched the first series today, incredible program! Finding myself watching a lot more series while I'm off work, recently finished Whitechapel as well.

I only listened to this once when Spotify messed up and released it early before they took it down. I liked it, and looking forward to hearing it again 😍
