Mariah Carey Cancels Pittsburgh Christmas Concert Due to Flu

The singer apologized to fans hours before the show, as her holiday hit returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

  • Mariah Carey canceled her Pittsburgh concert on December 11, citing the flu, just hours before she was scheduled to perform at the PPG Paints Arena.
  • Fans were informed of the cancellation via social media and venue announcements, with refunds being issued to ticket holders; the show is not expected to be rescheduled.
  • Carey is currently on her Christmas Time Tour, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her 1994 album 'Merry Christmas,' which includes the iconic song 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.'
  • Earlier this week, her holiday classic returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a milestone she celebrated onstage in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her 13-year-old twins presenting her flowers.
  • Her next performance is scheduled for December 13 in Newark, New Jersey, though it remains unclear if her illness will affect upcoming tour dates.
