Mariah Carey announced this week that she needed to cancel the first stops of her “All I Want for Christmas Is You” tour due to illness.

“Just in time for holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a lovely present of my own, a lovely respiratory infection after last week’s flu,” she tweeted.

“Bleak! You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show,” she continued, “but I have to take my doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing onstage. Until then, unfortunately, I have to cancel the first several shows of my upcoming Christmas tour.”

Her performances at the Beacon Theater in New York City are still going to happen Nov. 27 to Dec. 5.
