Mariah Carey fans share health fears after singer ‘barely moves’ during Las Vegas show

Video of Mariah Carey performing at a recent Las Vegas gig has left fans shocked and concerned. Watch the video to see why.

The Lambs are worried.

Mariah Carey’s fan base expressed their concerns for the singer over a video from one of her recent Las Vegas concerts that was posted online last week.

A show attendee shared a clip of Carey, 55, moving slowly onstage as she sang in the microphone and interacted with a backup dancer.

Carey, wearing a pink body suit with a matching sheer dress and heels, barely moved as the dancer held her hand and showed off his moves in front of her.

After the backup dancer ran across the stage, Carey followed him but at a snail’s pace.

The Instagram clip attracted over 5000 comments from fans reacting to Carey’s onstage behaviour.

“Is she always in a lot of pain? Genuine question,” one commenter asked.

“Omg is she OK?” said another fan.

Somebody else asked, “What’s going on here?! Is this a real performance or the dress rehearsal?”

“She can hardly move,” another comment read.

“I love Mariah but that gave me Joe Biden vibes,” someone else joked.

“The energy is electrifying,” a different fan sarcastically wrote.

Another person joked that Carey “saves her energy for Christmas.”

But a few defended Carey, including one who said that the singer “was petrified to walk in those heels” onstage.

“Maybe it’s time for her to start wearing flats,” they suggested.

The New York Post has reached out to Carey’s rep for comment.

Carey currently has her own Las Vegas residency, called the Celebration of Mimi, in honour of the anniversary of her 2005 album “The Emancipation of Mimi”.

The 24-show residency began in April 2024 and is scheduled to end on Saturday, Feb. 15.

“It’s a really good time,” she said about the residency in an interview with Entertainment Tonight last August.

“We’re doing the Celebration of Mimi and you know all about the Emancipation of Mimi and that album and there’s also other songs we do. But this is really about, you know, the Celebration of Mimi,” she shared.

In December, Carey was forced to cancel one of her Christmas shows in Pittsburgh because she was sick.

“Pittsburgh, I am sorry to say, I’ve come down with the flu,” Carey told her followers on X. “It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. I love you all so much.”

The show was part of Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time tour, which kicked off on Nov. 6 in Highland, Calif., and concluded on Dec. 17 in New York.
