Mariah Carey, an official purveyor of Christmas cheer, put an unlikely lump of coal in fans' stockings Wednesday when she canceled her annual holiday tour's stop in Pittsburgh just hours before show time.

Singer Mariah Carey's Wednesday evening concert in Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena has been abruptly canceled after the artist announced she has the flu. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Carey apologized to fans for the last-minute cancellation. The post was shared nearly three and a half hours before the concert was scheduled.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" is frequently ranked among the best Christmas songs ever made, if not the best.
