Brave pop punk Pink is refusing to let her horrifying onstage accident stop her from performing - she has vowed to return to the spotlight just hours after the incident.

The So What hitmaker was performing in Nuremberg, Germany on Thursday night when a harness which pulls her into the air for her stage stunts malfunctioned and dragged the pop star into a metal barrier.

Pink was forced to cut short the concert and was taken in an ambulance to a nearby hospital, but she has since reassured fans she hasn't broken anything and is "just seriously sore".

And despite severe bruising, she is determined to play her scheduled concert on Friday night in Salem, Germany.

In a post on her Twitter.com page, Pink writes: "Okay. Full steam ahead, people. No pain, no gain. Or is it no brain, no pain? Either way, I will be on that stage, even if I have to crawl :)"
