Singer Britney Spears is taking an undetermined break from work.
The Toxic hitmaker’s publicist said Britney is taking an “indefinite work hiatus” to focus on her father’s recovery from a recent life-threatening illness
She also suspended her Domination show in Las Vegas.
Jamie Spears’ colon spontaneously ruptured two months ago, sending him to immediate surgery and putting him in the hospital for 28 days, according to a statement.
He is expected to make a full recovery, though the 37-year-old entertainer will “devote all of her time to her family and their efforts to care for her father”.
Britney confirmed the news on Twitter, calling it “so tough”.
“I will not be performing my new show Domination,” she wrote. “I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart.”
I don’t even know where to start with this, because this is so tough for me to say. I will not be performing my new show Domination. I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart. pic.twitter.com/kHgFAVTjNA
