Mariah Carey is facing a profound personal tragedy, having lost both her mother, Patricia Carey, and her sister, Alison Carey, on the same day. The 55-year-old singer announced the devastating news on Monday but chose not to provide further details. She thanked her fans for respecting her privacy during this challenging time.
Alison Carey’s friend, Dave Baker, revealed in an interview with The Sun that Alison, 63, had been in hospice care during her final weeks due to issues with her internal organs. Baker described Alison as a highly intelligent and warm individual beneath a tough exterior and expressed hope that she would find peace and be free from pain.
Mariah Carey has previously shared the complexities of her relationships with her family in her memoir, *The Meaning of Mariah Carey*. While she and her mother eventually reconciled, her relationship with her sister and brother remained strained. Carey admitted in her book that maintaining distance from her siblings was emotionally and physically safer for her.
