Mariah Carey recently shared some heartbreaking news with her fans - the loss of both her mother and her sister. The 55-year-old singer took to social media on Monday to reveal that they had both passed away on the same day.
In a statement to People, Mariah expressed her heartbreak, saying, "My heart is broken that I've lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day." She continued, "I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed. I appreciate everyone's love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time."
Mariah also shared how she felt "blessed" to have had the opportunity to spend time with her mother before her passing. However, she did not provide any further details about the events leading up to their deaths and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
Patricia, Mariah's mother, was an opera singer and vocal coach who divorced her father in 1973. Her sister Alison, who was 63 at the time of her passing, had been estranged from Mariah for several years and had faced personal struggles such as homelessness.
In her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the "Always Be My Baby" songstress opened up about her complicated relationship with her mother. She described it as a "rainbow of emotions" and wrote, "Like many aspects of my life, my journey with my mother has been full of contradictions and competing realities." Mariah also shared that their relationship was a mix of "pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration, and disappointment."
