Pink Stops Show To Comfort Crying Child

In this Aug. 6, 2012 file photo, singer-songwriter Pink poses for a portrait in Santa Monica, Calif. Pink's new …Rocker/popster Pink may come off as one tough cookie, but it turns out the singer has an endearing soft side when it comes to her youngest fans. At her show in Philadelphia Sunday night, the singer stopped her set to comfort a little girl crying in the audience.

Pink, who was in the middle of a song, noticed the distraught child, and told her guitar player to "hold on a second."

She called out: "Is everything okay right here? Is this little girl all right?"

Turns out the child was upset by a fight in the crowd. "Y'all are fighting around a little girl?" Pink--who is the mother of a nearly 2-year-old daughter--said incredulously.

She then walked to the edge of the stage, and offered the girl a stuffed frog toy and a Rice Krispy treat, telling her "you look beautiful!" Awww.

The youngster was too shy to come up and get the goodies, but those in front handed them back to her, to much cheers from the audience. See for yourselves:

Pink is currently on her Truth About Love tour. You can keep up with her schedule here.
