Mariah Carey who had a number of projects in her hand scheduled around Christmas time, is backing off from part of them.

The ‘Vision Of Love’ songbird has scrapped her highly anticipated shows for the ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ concert series due to a sudden health crisis.

Carey has revealed that she has been suffering from a respiratory infection following a flue outbreak and would therefore have to cancel the shows.

Here is what Mimi had to say in her statement:

Lambs! Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a present of my own; a lovely upper respiratory infection after last week’s flu. 🤒 Bleak! You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show, but I have to take my Doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing on stage. Until then, unfortunately, I have to cancel the first several shows of my upcoming Christmas tour. I’m going to do all that I can so that I can see you soon!

However, there’s still some time till December – it almost seems certain that Mimi won’t be gracing the stage.
