Pink did not think she would survive her struggle with COVID-19, the singer has revealed.
She and her 4-year-old son, Jameson Moon, tested positive for coronavirus in April 2020, and in a new interview with Mark Wright of Heart Radio, Pink opened up about the "scary" experience.
"It was really, really bad, and I rewrote my will," she said. "At the point where I thought it was over for us, I called my best friend and I said, 'I just need you to tell [daughter] Willow how much I love her. It was really, really scary and really bad."
Pink added that the experience left her wondering what last impressions she would leave on her children.
"As a parent, you think, 'What am I leaving for my kid? What am I teaching them? Are they going to make it in this world?' " she told Wright. " 'And what do I need to tell them if this is the last time I get to tell them anything?' "
Last year the "Can't Take Me Home" hitmaker opened up about her COVID-19 battle and reflected on how the pandemic has impacted the world in an essay for NBC News ahead of Mother's Day.
"As parts of our country start down the long road to recovery, I find myself wondering what happens next?" she wrote.
"Battling COVID-19 along with my 3-year-old son was the most physically and emotionally challenging experience I have gone through as a mother," Pink added. "Weeks after receiving our test results, my son was still ill and feverish. It was a terrifying time, not knowing what might come next."
The pop icon also spoke of her and Jameson's diagnoses during an Instagram Live chat with her friend and author Jen Pastiloff on April 4.
"Jameson has been really, really sick," she said, according to People. "I’ve kept a journal of his symptoms for the past three weeks and mine as well. He still, three weeks later, has a 100 temperature. It’s been a roller-coaster for both of us, but [husband] Carey and Willow have been perfectly fine."
Pink explained that she had asthma and had to be on a nebulizer to help her breathe. At the start of the pandemic, health officials emphasized how people 65 years and older were most vulnerable, but it was worrying given her asthma.
"It got really, really scary, I’m not gonna lie," she said, adding that although Jameson was young and technically deemed a lower risk, he was seriously ill.
"We live in the country, right. The worst thing that attacks us here is pollen or mountain lion," she said. "But he’s been really, really sick and it’s scary. He’s been up and down and I’ve been on nebulizers for the first time in 30 years and that’s been really scary for me."
