I've been fighting bronchitis for the past few days.. almost better but on mandatory vocal rest per doctor's orders. I'm so sorry to cancel tonight's show but I promise to make it up to you!!! Love you always, MC," she wrote.
According to TMZ, the cancellation was announced at the last minute. Numerous fans were already at the venue only to find a sign saying, "Tonight's performance has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled." For now, Carey's next shows are set to take place this Saturday and Sunday.
