Mariah Carey has canceled three more shows of her “All I Want For Christmas Is You” tour to recover from a respiratory infection.
The pop star announced on Friday that she was advised to rest a few more days before starting the 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,” the 47-year-old singer said on her website and social media pages.
“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. While this news disappoints me to share, I am grateful to be on the mend and for the support from all of you — it means the world to me! See you from the stage soon darlings!” she said.
