Hamilton warbles over sick songbird

Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, a rockin,' sweatin' kinda guy, yesterday sprung to songbird Mariah Carey's defense for taking to her bed at Mass. General the other night and disappointing thousands of Boston fans. "It's amazing when you are sick and you have to go on stage," Hamilton told the Track. "For a singer, it's got to be a nightmare. I'm lucky. I can just play the bass and lean against my amp if I have to, but a singer, ugh, God." Tom could feel Mariah's food poisoning pain as he reminisced about the time in France when he and drummer Joey Kramer ate steak tartare and both became explosively ill - with disgusting effects. Eeeeooowww...

"It went away fast, though," he said. Which is quite unlike Mariah's malady, which has stuck around since she devoured a plate of raw oysters in Atlanta over the weekend and sent her to Mass. General the night before her sold-out show at the FleetCenter. Yesterday, as fans flocked to the hospital bearing bouquets, balloons and "Get Well" wishes, the diva snoozed in her heavily-guarded room - with a city view - on a pricey private floor at the hospital.

Anyway, for breakfast, we hear Mariah managed to order up a plate of papaya, the first solid food the Heartbreaker has requested since she was admitted Monday night for dehydration, a nasty complication of food poisoning.
