Mariah Carey Cancels Hong Kong Concert

By News Desk

Mariah Carey's concert in Hong Kong has beeen cancelled.

Universal Music Group International sent out the following press release today:

Due to unfulfilled contractual obligations by concert organisers, Mariah Carey has been obliged to cancel her forthcoming concert in Hong Kong, scheduled to take place at The Tamar site on Saturday, October 28.

With legions of fans in Hong Kong and South East Asia, Mariah has always appreciated the love and dedication they have shown over the years. She deeply regrets the disappointment caused to them due to unforseen circumstances beyond her control. For Mariah, this is particularly unfortunate given her recent sold-out, critically acclaimed tours of the United States and Japan.

Mariah's most recent album, The Emancipation Of Mimi, achieved double-platinum status in Hong Kong and platinum sales in Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand. The album also earned the multi-Grammy winning singer/songwriter/producer the distinction of being the best-selling Universal Music artist in China in 2006.

Mariah will soon begin work on a new album, due for release in 2007.
