Global superstar Mariah Carey is known for her powerful vocals and chart-topping hits. On August 26, 2024, the singer shared heartbreaking news with her fans – her mother, Patricia, and sister both passed away on the same day over the weekend.
Patricia, who was born on February 15, 1937, was an opera singer and vocal coach. She had a complicated relationship with Mariah, which the singer reflected on in her 2020 memoir.
Mariah dedicated the book to her mother, expressing love and understanding for the challenges they faced.
Mariah’s sister, Alison, also had a complex relationship with the singer. Mariah admitted in her memoir that it was safer for her not to have contact with Alison due to various reasons.
The cause of death for both Patricia and Alison has not been disclosed to the public.
Mariah Carey has a brother named Morgan, who is a fitness trainer and has dabbled in music production.
In 2021, Morgan sued his sister over claims made in her memoir, accusing her of damaging his reputation. However, the majority of the lawsuit was reportedly dismissed by a judge the following year.
Mariah shared her gratitude for the time she was able to spend with her mother before her passing, and requested privacy from her fans and the public during this difficult time.
