Pop superstar Mariah Carey, hospitalised a week ago, has suffered an "emotional and physical breakdown", according to a spokeswoman.
"Mariah has suffered an emotional and physical breakdown," Carey's publicist, Ms Cindi Berger, said. "She is just taking it day by day (and) is resting and improving."
Carey (31) was admitted to an undisclosed New York-area hospital on July 25th. Her breakdown forced her to cancel her headline role in an MTV show on Wednesday night.
Asked whether Carey's problems were work-related or personal issues, Ms Berger said: "No, something like this is always a cumulative effect."
