Pink revealed she was put on nebulisers as a result of her asthma.
She admitted, "It got really, really scary, I'm not gonna lie."

The Walk Me Home singer continued, "Yes I have asthma, but Jameson, he's three, he's perfectly fine. We live in the country, right."
"The worst thing that attacks us here is pollen or a mountain lion."
She added, "But [Jameson has] been really, really sick and it's scary."
"He's been up and down and I've been on nebulisers for the first time in 30 years and that's been really scary for me."
Pink revealed, "there were many nights when I've cried and I've never prayed more in my life."
"It's funny, but at one point, I thought they promised us our kids would be okay."
"It's not guaranteed. There is no one that is safe from this."
The 40-year-old singer clarified that her husband Carey and her 8-year-old daughter Willow, "have been perfectly fine."
