Mariah
Carey Hong Kong Concert
Cancelled
Promoters
have cancelled
Mariah
Carey's
concert in Hong Kong due
to a poor response and
what they characterised
as "unreasonable
demands" from the US pop
singer.
The
promoters, Concerts
Asia, announced the
decision in a statement
posted 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
statement
said.
It
did not elaborate on
what Mariah Carey's
demands were.
Concerts
Asia said it had only
sold 4,000 tickets
despite a "substantial"
advertising
campaign.
Mariah
Carey was due to perform
outdoors on Saturday
near Hong Kong's central
financial
district.
