From MTV Asia: (http://www.mtvasia.com/News/200610/26013919.html) Mariah Carey's concert in Hong Kong has been 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.
From Yahoo! News: (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061026/ap_on_en_mu/hong_kong_mariah_carey) Mariah Carey's weekend concert was canceled Thursday because of poor ticket sales and what promoters said were the pop star's "unreasonable demands."
Carey was to perform Saturday at an outdoor space near Hong Kong's Central financial district. Promoter Concerts Asia said it had only sold 4,000 tickets, despite a "substantial" advertising campaign.
"We have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans," said a statement posted Thursday on the promoter's website (http://www.concerts-asia.com/).
Concerts Asia declined further comment, and contact information for Carey wasn't immediately available.
Hits by the 36-year-old Grammy-winning singer include "We Belong Together."
From Concerts Asia: (http://www.concerts-asia.com/) There will be an official announcement next week to confirm the refund procedures through HK Ticketing and in the meanwhile all customers will be contacted if we have their emails to inform them of the procedure for refund and of course to offer our sincere apologies to any inconvenience."
