After canceling her Dec. 11 performance in Pittsburgh due to the flu, Mariah Carey has now scrapped two additional shows: Friday, Dec. 13, in Newark, New Jersey, and Sunday, Dec. 15, in Belmont, New York. “Newark and Belmont – I wish I had better news but unfortunately I’m still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight and on Sunday,” she wrote on social platform X on Friday. “I’m really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC.”

She posted a clip of herself on Instagram performing “The Greatest,” with brother FINNEAS joining her on guitar. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube now. In addition to “The Greatest,” she sings “L’Amour De Ma Vie,” “i love you” and “Birds of a Feather.”
