Background
After performing several promotional shows throughout North America and Europe, Pink announced her tour in Spring 2006. The "I'm Not Dead Tour" began in North America in nightclubs and theatres. Pink explained, "Small gigs, that's where it's at You can feel everyone's sweat, it's just so close and intimate. It's stinky, it's smoky, it's good." Pink continued her tour into Europe and Australia, playing predominately in arenas. As her album gained momentum in the United States, she joined Justin Timberlake as the opening act on his FutureSex/LoveShow, at select venues in the US. Pink returned to Europe during Summer 2007, playing open air/amphitheater festivals. She concluded her tour in South Africa. The tour became one of the most successful tours in both 2006 and 2007. In Australia, she became the most successful female artist during that time. The Australian tour grossed $41.5 million and was Pink's most successful tour until her Funhouse tour in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
