Mariah Carey's October tour to Australia postponed
|
Mariah Carey has cancelled her Australian tour two months before she is due to arrive, citing a scheduling conflict. It is the second time Carey has postponed her Australian and New Zealand tour, which was originally organised for February this year but pushed back to October. The rescheduled tour that was set to be "much bigger" than the one in February, but in fact had slashed Perth from the bulletin.
The singer said in a statement that she was cancelling the tour due to a "scheduling conflict". "It is with much regret that I am unable to visit Australia and New Zealand later this year, however I promise to find new dates soon," she said. "I've been working away on new music and I cannot wait to share it with you later this year."
She had been due to perform four shows in Australia and New Zealand, finishing at Brisbane's Sandstone Point Hotel on October 14. The cancellation set Twitter alight, with some users suggesting the singer had mistreated her fans. Wow! Unbelievable. Mariah Carey has cancelled her tour. Pink had better not cancel tomorrow, and Katy Perry had better do all of her shows next week as well," one Twitter user wrote in shock.
In December last year, also two months prior to her tour, Carey announced she was pushing back the show until October, at the time crediting a "necessary realignment of her international engagements for 2018".
Touring partner MJR presents said: "We are disappointed that Mariah's shows are cancelled but look forward to hearing her new material soon. Full refunds will be given to all ticket holders from their original point of purchase and we apologize for the inconvenience to fans and ticket holders."

A "scheduling conflict" which only came to light 8 weeks before the Oz and NZ tour begins? Haha who are they kidding? Sounds to me like they didn't sell enough tickets to make it profitable. In any case, what of the fans who have paid for transportation and hotels already? Another PR disaster. With the added cheek of "I have new music coming out soon" as if that is compensation enough.

It's hardly surprising. There has been absolutely zero promo for this. And that mole Stella arranged it, originally in horrific venues, so I suspect it was something she never wanted to do. Either that or she read what the Australian press have been saying about her since she split with their golden child Jimmy Packer. At this stage the refund is more exciting than the concert.
