Britney Spears goes on 'indefinite hiatus' after her father 'almost dies' from ruptured colon

Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears, 66, had to undergo surgery after he ruptured his colon and she has decided to put her 'family first' and cancelled her upcoming show Domination
PUBLISHED JAN 5, 2019

Pop legend Britney Spears announced on Friday that she would be taking an "indefinite" break from her work owing to her father Jamie Spears' illness. The 'Overprotected' singer revealed to fans on Instagram that she's heartbroken over not being able to go on with her much-awaited 'Domination' residency tour, but said she had to put her family first. Spears and her father have been close recently. He stepped into her life in 2008 to control her wealth and assets after her mental breakdown, several rehab stints and erratic behavioral placed her under a conservatorship. 

"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," she wrote alongside an old photograph of her and her parents. Dressed in a shiny pink dress and a huge smile after a dance recital, you can tell from the photo that Britney loved posing. Her father, with a camera around his neck, is smiling in the shot beside her mum, Lynn. The couple split up in 2002 but were said to be back together in 2010, according to reports.

"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," she continued.
