Singer Pink has offered her support to former child star Corey Feldman after his musical performance on US TV’s Today Show went viral last week.
Feldman – famous for his roles in ’80s films The Goonies, Stand by Me and The Lost Boys – played his song ‘Go 4 It’ with his band Corey’s Angels, a performance that some deemed bizarre.
With Feldman hitting out at online bullying following the performance, Pink has taken to Twitter with words of support. “Well I love ya @Corey_Feldman and I know how much it takes to get up there and do your thing. Keep your head up and know that you’re loved,” she wrote.
Responding to Pink’s message, Feldman replied: “THANK U SO MUCH! I Really appreciate that public endorsement. U Hav always been such a Wonderful artist, activist, n overall Human!” See both tweets below.

Speaking in a now-deleted Facebook Live video, Feldman said of the backlash he’s faced: “It was a song, okay? It wasn’t that weird. I’m sorry if it’s not good enough for you, but you don’t have to beat us up. I just want to say that, like, why is it okay to, like, publicly shame us?… I don’t understand… It’s, like, not PC to, like, say somebody is fat or somebody is white or somebody is black or somebody is yellow or green or if they have a short leg or if they have a missing finger. Like we can’t talk about these things. But it’s okay to bash Corey Feldman and the Angels.”
