‘UNREASONABLE’ CAREY SEES CONCERT CANCELLED
Pop superstar MARIAH CAREY’s Hong Kong concert this weekend (28OCT06) has been axed after the singer made a string of last minute diva demands.
Promoters in the Chinese territory are furious at Carey’s "unreasonable" behaviour, but refused to divulge the exact nature of her requests.
However, they insisted sluggish ticket sales in the lead up to Saturday’s extravaganza - billed "probably the biggest concert in Hong Kong history" by one sales company - also accounted for the cancellation.
In a statement posted on their website, Concerts Asia says, "As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert, 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." The company claims only 4,000 tickets have been shifted despite a huge advertising campaign.
