Ageing 'just doesn't happen' to Mariah Carey
Singer Mariah Carey claims ageing "just doesn't happen" to her as she refuses to acknowledge the passing of time. The 56-year-old said she had written a song about her approach to getting older in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, before the release of her 16th studio album, Here For It All. Asked about how she deals with ageing, Carey said: "I don't allow it - it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time - I have a new song that starts with that line." Carey also spoke about looking back at her life while writing her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, with journalist Michaela Angela Davis. "Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic," she said. "We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth. "I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. "It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it, I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. "Because this is me and I went through that." But the star also said she wanted to "have a laugh" on the new album's lead single Type Dangerous, which she described as "tongue in cheek". Carey's career began in the late 1980s, and has had a number of hits and top-selling albums. The singer is probably best known for her evergreen festive track, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Mariah Carey says ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her in candid admission
The pop diva and mother of two has said she doesn't 'acknowledge time' Pop diva Mariah Carey has declared boldly that ageing is a non-event for her as she simply doesn't entertain the concept of time. The 56-year-old singer revealed that she's written a song about her thoughts on getting older, before releasing her 16th studio album, Here For It All. "I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen," she said in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar UK. "I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time – I have a new song that starts with that line." Mariah also discussed reflecting on her life while writing her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, with journalist Michaela Angela Davis. The memoir detailed the numerous challenges Mariah faced growing up as a biracial woman in Long Island, New York. She said: "Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic. We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth. "I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it, I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me and I went through that." Despite this, Mariah mentioned she infused some humour into her latest work, particularly with the album's lead single 'Type Dangerous', which she calls 'tongue in cheek'. Reflecting on her mother's impact on her illustrious career, she also added: "We didn't always have the world' s greatest relationship but certain things she said or did resonated with me as a kid. "She once told me, 'don't say if I make it, say when I make it', that just stuck with me, and I never gave up." Since launching her career in the late 1980s, Mariah has had three UK number-one singles and two UK number-one albums. The singer is perhaps best known for her perennial festive hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You. Beyond this, the star has appeared in several Hollywood films, including The Bachelor, The Lego Batman Movie, and Precious. The complete interview with Mariah Carey can be found in the September edition of Harper's Bazaar UK, available from July 31.

Mariah Carey 'made peace' with Tommy Mottola marriage
Mariah Carey has "made peace" with her marriage to Tommy Mottola. The 56-year-old singer wed the record company boss - who is 20 years her senior - in 1993 and she has previously admitted she felt controlled and lacking in freedom during their four-year union, but she's found learning to laugh at her past has helped her to move on. She told the new issue of Harper's Bazaar UK magazine: "Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I've made peace with it – in any case, I vowed I'd stop talking about it. "Humour is my release, and people who know me know that. I'll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. "It's a coping mechanism, but it's in my nature to laugh." The Fantasy hitmaker felt unable to make the music she wanted to during her marriage to Tommy. She said: "I wanted to do more R+B, more urban music, and any time I would bring that up, it would get shot down. It wasn't that I didn't like the music I was making – I just felt there was more inside me that I wanted to release." Mariah found working on her 2020 memoir and audiobook The Meaning of Mariah Carey with writer Michaela Angela Davis a "therapeutic" experience, though it was also difficult. She said: "Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic. We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth. I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. "It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it… I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me and I went through that." Mariah's parents divorced when she was a child so her own experiences have influenced the way she co-parents her 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with their father, her second ex-husband Nick Cannon. She said: "They spend time with him, and they have a good time; they spend time with me, and they have a good time. I want to make sure I'm always fair about the situation because it's tough to grow up with divorced parents." Meanwhile, the We Belong Together singer is happy to embrace her diva reputation because she sees it as part of her professional persona. She said of being branded a diva: "It's part of my job. What's the point of a disguise? Just get up, get dressed, go out. If I don't want to be seen, I'll stay home." The September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK is on sale from 31 July. Visit for more.
