Grammy-winning singer Mariah Carey is mourning the loss of her mother and sister, who both passed away on the same day recently. In a statement shared with USA TODAY, Carey expressed her heartbreak over the tragic events and thanked everyone for their love and support during this difficult time. The cause of death was not disclosed. This news comes after Carey’s revelations in her 2020 memoir about her complicated relationships with family members.
Carey had a strained relationship with her father, who passed away in 2002, and her sister Alison, who she described as a destructive force in her life. Despite the challenges, Carey acknowledged her mother’s efforts in raising her and dedicated part of her memoir to her.
Last year, Carey ended her nearly 10-year relationship with Bryan Tanaka and started her third Las Vegas residency, “Mariah Carey: The Celebration of Mimi Live in Las Vegas.” She is also set to embark on Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time tour this winter to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her holiday album “Merry Christmas.”
Fans and supporters are rallying around Carey during this difficult time as she navigates the loss of her loved ones. Despite the heartache, Carey continues to focus on her music and performances, showcasing her resilience in the face of adversity.
