Mariah Carey returned to music video shoot after hospital

Mariah Carey returned the set of her new music video on Sunday (07Jul13) just hours after she was hospitalised with a dislocated shoulder and cracked rib in a desperate attempt to finish the shoot. The pop superstar was filming a promo for a remix of her track #Beautiful with rapper Young Jeezy when she took a tumble and had to be treated at a New York medical centre for her injuries.
Her husband Nick Cannon, who had been directing the project, offered to abandon his duties to be by his wife’s side, but Carey refused to let her pain stand in the way of her work and ordered the TV personality to continue on in her absence.
During an appearance on U.S. breakfast show Today on Tuesday (09Jul13), he said, “It was pretty serious. Not only did she dislocate her shoulder, she actually cracked her rib. She chipped her shoulder bone during the video shoot. She was in this nice, beautiful gown, heels on and everything, it was kinda on this platform, she kinda slipped and fell on her whole side. She’s such a trooper, like I was gonna rush to the hospital, she was like, ‘You get back in there and finish the video’.
“Then, after they put the shoulder back in place, bandaged her all up, she came back to the video early in the morning and finished out everything. She’s like, ‘This better be a good video after all this pain I went through!…’ I would be crying and passed out if something like that happened to me. She was right back to work!”
The Hero hitmaker is now recovering at home and resting up for her performance at a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert on Saturday (13Jul13).
