Britney Spears has canceled her 2019 Las Vegas residency and is going on an “indefinite work hiatus” in order to put “full focus” on her father’s health.
“Britney: Domination” was scheduled to begin on Feb. 13, but on Jan. 4, the pop star unexpectedly posted a personal note alongside a childhood photo with her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears.
“I don’t even know where to start with this, because this is so tough for me to say,” she began. “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. However, it’s important to always put your family first… and that’s the decision I had to make.”
Spears continued, “A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time. I hope you all can understand.”
