@MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol."Los Angeles (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Pop singer and "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey will leave the TV singing contest and embark on a world tour next year, according to a statement by her publicist.
"@MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol," public relations firm PMK BNC said on Twitter.
The tweet said Carey was planning the tour to promote her recent single "Beautiful" that features singer Miguel.
Carey, 43, reportedly earned $18 million for the past season of the Fox show. The star power of Carey, and fellow judges rapper Nicki Minaj and country singer Keith Urban failed to stop the show`s ratings slide.
Longtime judge Randy Jackson earlier this month said he would not return to the show, which had a record low audience of 14.2 million for its May 16 season finale.
Fox is owned by News Corp.
