Pink has the flu, still plans to sing national anthem at Super Bowl LII

The flu epidemic sweeping the U.S. does not discriminate, with its latest victim none other than Doylestown-native Pink, who is slated to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl LII.

Still, the Bucks County pop singer and Philadelphia Eagles fan says the illness won’t stop her from performing.

“Trying to practice the flu away,” the artist posted on Instagram.

Pink says the performance has been a dream of hers since watching idol Whitney Houston perform the anthem in 1991.

"And now my chance has finally come," Pink wrote. "I've arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare."

But she’s fighting to ensure her dream becomes a reality Sunday night.

Singing this song in front of my family, my military family, my dad and brother and step mama and family and the world. And the EAGLES!?!?! I promise I will do my best, as I always do," Pink wrote.

She closed her message with the hashtag, "If I can sing, I'm going to kill it.”

Read her full message:

Trying to practice the flu away. I've been waiting to sing this song since 1991 when I saw my idol, Whitney Houston, own this song. And now, my chance has finally come. And it just so happens that this chance comes when I have two small Petri dish kids who literally cough INTO MY MOUTH and rub their snot on my cheek. You can't write this stuff I swear! And here we are. I've arrived at another one of my dreams which is slowly becoming a sort of nightmare. I will tell you, this is one of the biggest honors of my life, singing this song in front of my family, my military family, my dad and brother and step mama and family and the world. And the EAGLES!?!?! I promise I will do my best, as I always do. As far as the gremlins that got me into this mess, you can cough at me for the rest of your lives. If it's a contest, babies, you win. #spreadthelove #spreadthegerms #pleasegivememyvoiceback #ificansingimgonnakillit
