Pink has followed in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran in Dunedin with a mural this morning unveiled of the singer.

The singer is due to perform at the Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday, and artist Jon Thom was commissioned to create a wall mural of her before her arrival.

A public mural of Sheeran in March this year caused much debate, with some arguing public money shouldn't be spent on such a project and that New Zealand's own rich musical history should be celebrated instead.

Sheeran caught up with TVNZ1’s Seven Sharp to discuss his feelings on the mural. (Source: Other)

The Pink mural is on display now at the Wall Street Mall and will eventually be auctioned off to raise money for Women's Refuge.
