Mariah Carey walks away in middle of New Year show

Following what looked like a technical difficulty during her New Year Eve performance at the New York City’s Times Square, music diva, Mariah Carey reportedly had a live meltdown and eventually abandoned fans in the middle of her show.

The pop star was said to be miming her song, ‘Emotions’, and when she couldn’t hear the song playing, she asked the audience to fill in the blanks for her. Minutes later, she gave up trying and left the stage before her time was up.

Taking to the social media shortly after, the singer tweeted; ‘Shit happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017’, as fans were reacting to the situation.

Known for her remarkable performances, Mariah had been contracted to perform at the world-renowned event but was caught lip-syncing to two of her songs, ‘Emotions’ and ‘We Belong Together’.

“Well, Happy New Year. We can’t hear, but I’ll just go through the motions,” she remarked before walking off stage.
