Sat Dec 14 00:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Mariah Carey Cancels Pittsburgh Christmas Concert Due to Illness
**Pittsburgh, PA** – Mariah Carey’s highly anticipated Christmas concert at PPG Paints Arena, scheduled for December 11th, was abruptly canceled due to the singer’s illness. Carey announced on social media that she had come down with the flu, leaving disappointed fans scrambling for refunds just hours before showtime.
Many attendees arrived at the arena only to find cancellation notices posted at the entrance. Fans expressed frustration, not only about the missed concert but also about unrecoverable expenses such as babysitters and parking. A statement from PPG Paints Arena assured ticket holders that they would receive email instructions regarding refunds; those who don’t receive an email are advised to contact their point of purchase.
The cancellation comes just as Carey’s holiday classic, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard charts. While the Pittsburgh show is off, Carey’s tour is expected to resume on Friday in Newark, New Jersey.
