Unfortunately, Carey had tocancel three of her performances after falling sickwith the flu. She told PEOPLE exclusively following the tour that though she has no plans to discontinue the annual tradition, she may make some changes in the future.

“It’s probably something that I’ll always do. I just need to schedule it a little bit differently because this year I’d gotten sick just from being out there too long,” she said at the time.

Most recently,she was spotted in Aspenlooking chic andspending time with Anderson .Paak.
