Mariah leaves clinic
Singer Mariah Carey has been released from the hospital she checked herself into two weeks ago,
suffering from exhaustion. "MC is feeling better," Carey's spokeswoman, Cyndi Berger, told a
New York tabloid. "She's under a doctor's care at an undisclosed location with her mother."
There were rumours that Carey, 31, had attempted suicide, which were subsequently denied by her
publicist. Berger said that she suffered an "emotional and physical breakdown", as a consequence
of working too hard and not getting enough sleep.
The Grammy-award winner cancelled all public appearances, including a performance at the MTV 20th
anniversary celebrations in New York. Her movie - Glitter - was also postponed and is now set
to open on 21 September. Glitter marks Carey's first starring role. She plays an aspiring pop
singer and is also one of the film's producers.
Carey was raised by her mother, a former opera singer and began singing at the age of four.
She began to write songs while she was at school and soon after graduation had broken into the
recording industry, making her debut on Columbia Records in 1990.
She was the biggest-selling artist of the 90s and is best known for hits I'll Be There, Without
You, Fantasy and Open Arms. Her single Heartbreaker made her one of the most successful artists
ever in 1999, when it became her 14th American number one single, a feat rivalled only by the
Beatles (20) and Elvis Presley (17).
