Mariah Carey cancels three more Christmas concerts
The elusive chanteuse indeed: Mariah Carey canceled three more stops on her “All I Want for Christmas” tour.
“I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones; it’s certainly nice to remember what we are grateful for! Like most, I’m thankful for my overall health… for which I need a bit more time to get right,” Carey, 47, announced on Instagram Friday evening. “Doctors have ordered a few extra days of rest before I can finally fly to New York and take the stage for my Christmas Tour.”
The “Oh Santa” singer will be forced to sit out her Nov. 27, Nov. 28 and Dec. 1 performances at the Big Apple’s Beacon Theatre, with her tour officially kicking off at the venue on Dec. 2.
Carey will still be performing a Nov. 30 benefit concert in Los Angeles for World AIDS Day, her website reported.
The Queen of Christmas, who recently signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation after dumping manager Stella Bulochnikov, was forced to cancel her Nov. 17 show in Ontario and her Nov. 18 performance at the Chicago Theatre due to a respiratory infection.
