She Cancelled

What a Diva!

As we mentioned earlier this week, Mariah Carey was set to perform next week in Dubai (on May 15th).

Her concert was to be followed by a Fergie concert the following day.

However, Mimi has just cancelled the show. And, guess what?

Fergie cancelled too!

Sucks for Dubai.

According to the official press release that just came out today, it sates, "Midas Promotions along with Blue Giraffe Entertainment and On Golden Pond Pictures regret to announce the 'Divas in Dubai' concert event is being rescheduled to a later date in the Fall 2008."

Oh that's right. They're calling it "rescheduled" or "postponed."

It goes on to say, “Mariah and Fergie are disappointed that they won’t be able to perform. They had scheduled this one special event in their calendars and were looking forward to performing for the Dubai fans.”

Hah, yea right.

We can figure out why Mimi cancelled. She just got married, her name is everywhere in the press, she probably wants to hide away for a bit.

But why would Fergie cancel? Her life seems pretty boring these days and it's not like she couldn't use the extra money!

As for the "official" reason for the cancellation postponement, it states that “the extremely compressed time frame along with unforeseen logistical complications compelled us to move the event later in the year to ensure a show commensurate with the level of success of these world class Artists and the people of Dubai.”

Riiiiiight.

And for those unfortunate ones that already purchased tickets, no worries. Your credit cards will be refunded within 2-4 weeks. Fun.

Now let's hope Nick Carey doesn't pull a Mariah and cancel on an important CHARITY event!
