Pink was reportedly refused entry to a famous Australian waterfront club in an unpleasant encounter during her recent tour Down Under.
The 44-year-old American superstar is said to have visited the Manly Skiff Club on Monday evening with a group of around eight people, but was turned away at the door.
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, was reportedly refused entry to the popular harborside venue because she did not have ID with her.
Manly market manager Mark Eymes witnessed the encounter while waiting in line with his cousin and quickly realized it was Pink as she spoke with an American accent.
He told the Manly Observer that he overheard her telling staff that she had a booking but under Australian rules she was not allowed to enter without presenting ID.

The American superstar, 44, was said to have visited the Manly Skiff Club on Monday evening with a group of around eight people but was turned away at the door because he did not have ID with him
He shared: “They said she couldn’t come in without it [her ID]although she explained that she had already secured her booking with a deposit.'
He said he tried to help by informing the Skiff Club directors and floor manager that Pink was at the entrance and would be turned away, but to no avail.
“Next thing I saw P!NK and her group leave, they just kicked her out,” he said.
Despite the embarrassing faux pas, Mark insisted she wasn't “putting too much stress on herself” and was “really enjoyable” even if she couldn't enjoy her evening at the venue.
He added: “She didn't lose her weight once, she was really pleasant, although she was a little upset that she couldn't come in. It was just such a shame and a little embarrassing that no solution could be found.'
Matt Hazell, managing director of the Manly Skiff Club, reportedly refused to comment on the incident, saying they would prefer “not to comment on the club's visitors in order to protect the privacy of their members and guests”.
Viewer Mark Eymes said he overheard her telling staff that she had a booking but, according to Australian rules, it was not allowed to go in without a deposit
Under the Registered Clubs Act 1976, visitors to clubs must present suitable identification to gain entry to venues.
Chron Australia has contacted Pink's representatives and the Manly Skiff Club for comment.
Pink, who considers Australia a “second home”, is currently down under for her Summer Carnival tour, which kicked off in Sydney on Friday evening.
She was exploring with her husband Carey Hart and their children Willow, 12, and Jameson, 7, surprising Australian locals with her low-key excursions.
The So What hitmaker shocked a community theater group in Sydney earlier this week when she made a surprise visit to watch their musical performance.
She showed up unexpectedly with her family to see PACA Sydney's final performance of In The Heights at Chatswood Concourse and reportedly even paid for the tickets herself.

A video shared by the theater group on Instagram showed the cast members freaking out when Pink came backstage after the show to chat with them all.
The group cheered and gasped upon their entrance as she raved about the show: “It was so hard to sit, I thought, 'I want to dance too!'”
Pink said, “That was so good, you guys are so good!” Thank you, that was great. Willow wants to be in the theater, so that was really nice.”
In addition to the video, the theater group raved: “What a way to end our show!” Many thanks to special guest @pink for coming and supporting our show! What a night.'
Pink also smiled for snaps with members of the theater group and was said to have given the performance a “standing ovation.”
PACA Sydney added: “The fact that Pink saw our show and gave us a standing ovation is truly indescribable!” “I don't have the words to describe the feeling.”
Choreographer and events coordinator Janina Hamerlok told the Daily Telegraph of Pink's visit: “She was absolutely lovely and extremely down to earth.”

“She praised several of our lead actors individually and said she felt the production was a tremendous tribute to the actual Latino community on which the musical is based.
“She was one of the first in the auditorium to give a standing ovation at the end of the performance – it was an unforgettable moment for most of the cast and also for myself, who has always been a die-hard fan.”
Pink reportedly bought tickets to the dressage circuit on the upper level, but when staff recognized her, she and her family were moved to the seats in the house normally reserved for the production team.
Tickets for the two-week show were reportedly $68.95 for an adult, $57.95 for a junior or $220 for a family of four.
Pink will travel across the country for a series of shows on her Australian tour before finishing in Queensland on March 23.
Pink was born and raised in the US but was named an “honorary Aussie” after breaking concert and album sales records Down Under.
According to a report in New Idea last year, Pink hopes to start a “new chapter” with her family in Australia and is considering setting up a “base” down under.
She has long considered Australia her second home and says she is “exploring” possible citizenship in February 2023.

“Australia will be a very special time.” “Setting up their long-awaited dream base down under where they can escape the winter months will be just what the doctor ordered,” said an insider.
“Last year I thought about applying for citizenship, I'm not kidding,” she shared on 60 Minutes.
Pink added that she told her husband Carey Hart that they should move with their children Willow, 12, and Jameson, 7.
“I thought, 'If we're going to go somewhere, Carey, that's where we're going.' So I looked into it,” she added.
