Traces the extraordinary career of Alicia Beth Moore from Pennsylvania through her stint in the girl group Choice to her incarnation as global superstar Pink. This book offers accounts of Pink's campaigns for PETA, her controversial marriage to motocross racer Corey Hart and her triumphant return to peak form with 2008's "Funhouse" album.
The double-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter with the shocking pink hair has now been a regular fixture on the world's charts since 2000, hitting the heights with the searing autobiographical pop/rock of "Missundaztood". She released her fifth album in 2008, the revealing "Funhouse" which has sold over 1,000,000 copies in the US and over three million worldwide. Paul Lester traces the extraordinary career of Alicia Beth Moore from Pennsylvania through her stint in the girl group Choice to her present incarnation as global superstar Pink. "Split Personality" reveals the two sides of this complex artist: the feisty fun-filled performer who at thirty continues to conquer in a teen-dominated industry and the conflicted woman whose dark urges have fuelled her deceptively upbeat glossy brand of hi-tech pop. Here too are full accounts of Pink's notorious campaigns for PETA that prompted a run-in with fell R&B goddess Beyonce, her controversial marriage to motocross racer Corey Hart and her triumphant return to peak form with 2008's "Funhouse" album. This is a pop biography that makes for a truly exciting read that's worthy of it's electrifying subject!
