Mariah Carey is “feeling better and back at work” in time for the bulk of the holiday season. The singer shared a pic from the recording studio to Instagram on Thursday (Nov. 30), to which she added, “Looking forward to seeing you today at the World AIDS Day 2017 concert and then starting the Christmas tour festivities!”
Previously, Carey had cancelled her Nov. 27, 28, and Dec. 1 shows due to illness. The tour will kick back off on Dec. 2 at the Beacon Theatre in NYC.
Less than a week ago, Carey announced via Instagram that she was on the mend from her illness, but that she still needed her rest, with a heartfelt message. “I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones,” Carey stated, “it’s certainly nice to remember what we are grateful for! Like most, I’m thankful for my overall health… for which I need a bit more time to get right. Doctors have ordered a few extra days of rest before I can finally fly to New York and take the stage for my Christmas Tour. While this news disappoints me to share, I am grateful to be on the mend and for the support from all of you – it means the world to me! See you from the stage soon darlings! ?, Mariah.”
The tour dates were initially cancelled by Carey due to a respiratory infection. The singer posted to Twitter, “Lambs! Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a present of my own; a lovely upper respiratory infection after last week’s flu. Bleak! You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show, but I have to take my doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing on stage.”
