Britney Spears was forced to storm off the stage during a live gig taking place at General Motor Place in Vancouver on Wednesday, April 8. Dressing as a ringleader and holding a whip, the singer was not seen anywhere on-stage after she removed her jacket, revealing a sparkling bra and bare midriff.

Shortly after that, an announcer was heard saying to impatience concertgoers, who started yelling Britney's name, that the singer has left the stage because the arena got too smoky and will not return to the stage "until the air clears." "It's become uncomfortable and unsafe for the performers, including Ms. Spears," it was announced. "Please extinguish all cigarettes - this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume as soon as the air around the stage is clear."

When the crowd began booing and screaming repeated sentence, "We want Britney," the 27-year-old singer re-appeared on-stage, sporting a sparkling silver dress. After performing a number of her hit singles, including "If U Seek Amy and "Me Against the Music," she closed the gig, saying, "Vancouver, don't smoke weed."

An apology was also issued by Britney's camp on her official website. "We want to apologize to all the fans who attended our Vancouver show tonight for the brief pause in Britney's set," so the statement read. "Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue."
