Furious Mariah Carey to launch “full investigation” after New Year’s Eve gaffe
Pop superstar vows to get to the bottom of the botched performance that saw her meltdown and storm off stage in New York
MARIAH Carey is launching a “full investigation” after her New Year’s Eve show ended in disaster.
The pop diva, 47, suffered an on-stage meltdown when technical glitches caused her to botch a lip-synched performance of ‘91 hit Emotions.
She told the audience in New York: “I wanted a holiday too, can’t I just have one?” before storming off the stage at the end of her set.
Now the American chart-topper says she believes there was “foul play” involved and vowed to get to the bottom of the botched concert, which also saw her ring in 2017 by singing Auld Lang Syne to revellers in Times Square.
A source close to the star said: “Mariah is fuming and has been left very upset for the past couple of days. She won’t let this go and believes somebody tried to sabotage her.
“She is launching her own investigation into the incident.”
On Sunday Mariah accused Dick Clark Productions, who were responsible for the New Year’s show, of sabotage - a claim they rubbished as “silly.”
The Without You singer, who split from Australian billionaire James Packer, 49, in November, recently launched her own reality telly series Mariah’s World.
