Mariah Carey will not return to “American Idol” next season.
The pop star’s publicity firm, PMK
BNC, tweeted Thursday that Carey is departing the Fox series and
planning a world tour in support of her new single “Beautiful.”
Carey became a new judge on “Idol”
last year along with Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj. She and Minaj made
headlines when they bickered on and off the airwaves.
Fox and FremantleMedia said in a statement:
“Mariah Carey is a true global
icon – one of the most accomplished artists on the planet – and we feel
extremely fortunate that she was able to bring her wisdom and
experience to the “American Idol” contestants this season. We know she
will remain an inspiration to “Idol” hopefuls for many seasons to come.”
