Mariah Carey Declares War on the Flu, Cancels Two More Christmas Concerts

Buy Me A Coffee

It seems not even the Queen of Christmas is immune to the Grinch of all illnesses: the flu. Mariah Carey, the reigning diva of holiday cheer and high notes, has been forced to cancel more stops on her Christmas tour, leaving fans as heartbroken as a holiday fruitcake no one eats.

The glittering songstress already broke the bad news about her December 11 show in Pittsburgh being scrapped. Now, two more datesβ€”December 13 in Newark, NJ, and December 15 in Elmont, NYβ€”have been unceremoniously axed, thanks to Mariah’s ongoing battle with a microscopic foe that clearly didn’t get the memo about her being untouchable.

Mariah took to Twitter to deliver the devastating update with the kind of heartbreak emoji precision only she can pull off:
β€œNewark and Belmont – I wish I had better news but unfortunately I’m still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight and on Sunday. I’m really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC πŸ’”,” she wrote, proving that even when she’s down, she’s still the moment.

Fans have been left wondering if Mariah’s legendary whistle register might now double as a dog whistle for flu viruses. Is it possible the germs just couldn’t handle her holiday magic and launched a full-scale attack? Either way, it’s clear the diva needs to rest her vocal cords and sip some honey-infused glitter tea.

But waitβ€”there’s a sliver of hope! Mariah is holding on to one final concert on December 17 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Will the Christmas Queen rise like a bedazzled phoenix from her box of ornaments and deliver the yuletide spectacular we all need? Or will this be another casualty of 2024’s flu season? Stay tuned, lambs, because when Mariah’s involved, it’s always an unpredictable sleigh ride.
