Britney Spears Stops Concert Due To Smoking

Britney Spears was forced to stop mid-way through a concert on Wednesday night, after the arena became too smoky for the crew to continue, with some falling ill as a result.

During Spears’ show in Vancouver, Canada, the singer stopped performing and walked offstage, with reports of an announcement asking people to stop smoking marijuana.

The singer’s rep issued a statement about the incident, saying, “We want to apologize to all the fans who attended our Vancouver show tonight for the brief pause in Britney’s set. Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue.”
