Pink began 2026 by sharing a health update after undergoing neck surgery to replace two cervical discs. The singer revealed the procedure on Instagram, explaining it took place over New Year’s Eve. She stated, “I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and to fixing my body. It may not be a fancy Face lift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck.A new scar, a new reminder, that I appreciate this vessel that I have and use it for all it’s worth. Rock ‘n’ roll is a contact sport. And as I sit here by myself on New Year’s Eve in a hospital room while my family is happily snowboarding- I know that 2026 is going to be better as that is the choice that I have made.”
Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Lilly shared a health update in early 2026, revealing she is living with the effects of brain damage following a traumatic brain injury sustained in May 2025. The actress fainted while on a beach in Hawaii and hit her head, and subsequent scans revealed decreased function in multiple areas of her brain.
“I’m entering into this new year, the Year of the Horse, with some bad news about my concussion,” Lilly said in an Instagram video. “A lot of you asked how I’m doing. A lot of you have inquired about the brain scans that you heard I got.And the results came back from the scans [and] showed that almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.”
“But, now, my job is to get to the bottom of that with the doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I don’t look forward to because I feel like hard work is all I do,” she added.
