Fan Gives Birth At A P!nk Concert
Here’s something you don’t see every day: 32-year-old Denise Jones gave birth during a packed P!nk concert in Liverpool on Tuesday night (June 25), and named the baby Dolly Pink in honor of the singer.
Thankfully, everyone is safe and healthy, thanks to paramedics John Matthews and Dani Berg, who were both on duty as crowd doctors at Anfield Stadium.
Jones reportedly went into labor right as the P!nk show kicked off with “Let’s Get The Party Started.” Jones was in the Main Stand when she went into labor, while the medics were on the opposite side of the stadium. They had to quickly figure out a path that would get them through the thousands of P!nk fans in time.
Dr. Matthews says, “It took less than five minutes,” “We didn’t have time to get concerned or worried, we just had to crack on and get on with it. There was no equipment in the first aid room, just a couple of beds. This doesn’t happen very often and I’d never delivered a baby in Anfield before. When things go well, it’s always a good feeling.”
Dr. Matthews added: “She did it all naturally, there was no time for pain relief.”
As for Jones, she joked that she was a bit upset about missing the concert. But she evened it out by naming her newborn after the singer.
“The plan was to call her Dolly Louise but since she was born in the concert we’ve changed it to Dolly Pink.”
