Mariah Carey: Keeping Cheerful While The Flu Plays Grinch
Mariah Carey is trying to stay positive after cancelling her Christmas performances due to the flu. Sharing a playful Instagram post, she connected with fans who offered support. Despite recent cancellations, she’s celebrating her hit song returning to number one on the charts, showcasing the ups and downs of holiday fame.
Mariah Carey is putting on her best festive face despite the unfortunate news of having to cancel two Christmas shows. In a vibrant red dress, she shared a lively Instagram post, teasing about her holiday tune along with a sprinkle of humour, saying, “Christmas Time Is In The Air Again (and so are the germs that got me sick, but let’s stay positive!)” Who knew even Christmas could come with a side of germs?
Fans flooded her comments wishing her a swift recovery, with one person playfully quipping, “Not the caption, get well soon Queen!” and another rallying, “You got this, Mimi!” It’s evident that her fan club is hoping she’s back in good form soon, showering her with love and well wishes like confetti at a Christmas bash!
Having confirmed she’s down with the flu, Mariah expressed her sorrow for missing performances on December 13 and 17.
She posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Newark and Belmont — I wish I had better news but unfortunately, I’m still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight… I’m really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC.” That broken heart emoji really tugs at the heartstrings, doesn’t it?
The week got even more sticky for the diva with a last-minute show cancellation in Pittsburgh due to her flu symptoms. She shared, “It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. I love you all so much.” In her typical Mariah style, she’s managing to mix sadness with her signature charm.
On a brighter note, Christmas tunes are brightening her spirits as her classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” just landed back at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100! That means she’s officially set a record for 20 years at number one—a milestone that might just be harder to beat than a hard-boiled Christmas pudding!
Despite the ups and downs, Mariah remains grateful for her festive music legacy.
She previously commented, “The holidays are a wonderful time, but they can also be a difficult time for some people. I just try to do my best to make people happy and to feel festive, no matter what’s going on in their lives.” Basically, she’s the holiday cheerleader we all are secretly rooting for.
Mariah Carey is doing her best to stay jolly and positive despite battling the flu and having to cancel her Christmas performances. While her fans are showering her with love and warm wishes, she’s also celebrating a major chart milestone with her holiday hit. It’s a mixed bag of cheer during a challenging time, proving that even queens have their off days, but a sprinkle of positivity can go a long way!
