Mariah Carey Cancels Opening Shows of Christmas Tour Due To Illness

An illness has forced Mariah Carey to cancel two shows on her “All I Want For Christmas Is You” tour including the 11/21 performance at the Seneca Niagara Casino Event Center in Niagara Falls, NY and the 11/22 date at the Hard Rock Rocksino in Northfield Park, OH.

According to her Twitter: ” 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.”
