(MixxCelebrity) Britney Spears halted her show in Vancouver last night after just three songs because it was too smokey in the arena. The singer who is currently on the road supporting her ‘Circus’ album, walked off stage and remained backstage for over 20 minutes while an announcer told the crowd the show would not continue if people in the audience continued to smoke weed and cigarettes.
The announcer told the crowd it was “unsafe” for Spears and her dancers to continue to perform in that environment, reports Perez Hilton.
A statement released to the gossip site said: “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.”
Production staff were reportedly worried that crew working high up would become dizzy from the smoke.
Spears herself then issued an anti-marijuana message at the end of her show, telling the audience: “Thanks Vancouver. You were wonderful. Drive safe. Don’t smoke weed!”
I’m still trying to understand weed smokers at a Britney Spears concert. I thought marijuana smoking was supposed to improve one’s appreciation of music.

get real Britney….you were a junkie….trying to be clean, and now your sugar ass is worried about a little smoke….get real
The weed smokers were there just to bother her.
Looks like it worked.
LOL! I think weed is about the only thing that could make Britney Spears music sound good! Her shipment of fail has come in.
Uh… the marijuana caused time distortion?
Or I saw it on someone’s Twitter feed, didn’t hear the story in April, and posted it.
It was a lone smoker with some really kind skunk and was forced there by a chick he has been trying to bang for 3 months. Thats the only way I could see it happen!
What a Joke, anti pot statement, Ha, What that if you smoke you will remember to put on your underwear? since she cant remember when she drinks! SKANK
isn’t this an old story?

Maybe I attended too many Pantera shows, growing up here in N Texas, but WOW! What a bunch of P-holes!
It’s a friggin concert! Dimebag Darrell would have NO part of this BS. R.I.P. Brother Dime
“Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue”
why does this smell like oats after it’s passed through the horse? I don’t know where the concert was but if it were out doors, well i don’t think i need to point out the bullshit in that. If it was indoors it would have to have been in a small elementary school auditorium because anything bigger almost always has a pretty hefty ventilation system, mainly for temperature regulation but ventilation is ventilation.
