Last weekend, the American singer was to perform in the Chinese territory. Due to the extravagant last-minute demands of the star, promoters have decided to call the show off.
The event’s organisers refused to reveal the nature of the demands, but also added that poor ticket sales contributed to their decision.
Concerts Asia said in a statement placed on their website, "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 promoter also added that only 4,000 tickets had been sold for the concert, despite a significant advertising campaign.
