Britney Spears stops concert b/c of Marijuana smoke

Britney Spears stopped performing halfway through her concert at the GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, after smoky conditions and ventilation problems forced the singer and her dancers to leave the stage for more than 30 minutes, the Vancouver Sun writes in their concert review. After performing a few songs, Spears and her dancers vanished for no reason, leaving the impatient crowd to chant and do the wave in complete darkness. (Check out photos of Britney’s Circus show.)

After about 20 minutes, a voice came over the loudspeaker to tell concertgoers that smoking marijuana and cigarettes is illegal at GM Place. “It’s become uncomfortable and unsafe for the performers, including Ms. Spears. The show will resume as soon as the air around the stage is clear,” the announcement said. After performing the final encore, Spears walked offstage with the words, “Thanks Vancouver. You were wonderful. Drive safe. Don’t smoke weed! Rock out with your cocks out!” Yes, this really happened (watch the video above).

Sources tell Perez Hilton that throngs of people smoking marijuana in the crowd were the cause of the delay: “We were concerned for the lighting guys and everyone else working on the show. If one of those guys up above got dizzy or sick from all that marijuana smoke… It wouldn’t have been pretty.” Spears’ camp issued a statement after the concert, saying, “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.” Let us remind you this was a Britney Spears concert, not a Phish show — did you guys really need a doobie to get through “Toxic”?

:lol:


i don't know about you, but i'd need as much Maui Wowie as i could get to sit through a whole song

    That's not too fair, don't think she's been known to be a crackhead. She was in Canada, but still doesn't seem like she would attract that kind of crowd. Guys in the rigging though had to have that experience before.

    Maybe the smell was tempting her and therefore, distracting? :twisted:

    my guess would be that she has to do mandatory drug testing and she was afraid of anything getting into her system

    Yep, I thought that too. She fails her drug test (contact high) and she'll never see her white trash kids.

    I guess the most startling thing about the whole article was that...people were chanting for her to come back?!?!?!

    Maybe the contact high was throwing off her lip syncing.

    I was at the Lamb of God show and the singer mentioned that security there were talking about it and he assured us LOG would never do such a thing. Maybe more people should listen to Lamb of God.

    To each there own I say. I believe it should be legalized but I don't care for it in my space. It's rude bullshit in the public domain just like someone smoking cigs in your space. I am a smoker and even I have some respect for others.

    That's hilarious. I didn't know Britney attracted that type of crowd. I thought she got more of the teeny-bopper 12-13 year old girls. But hey, maybe these kids in Canada are into some crazy shit at an early age..

    sweet, now all you have to do is smoke pot and she will stop her concert. Hopefully this leads to the rest of her tour being canceled due to pot smoke. After no more shows, then there will be no more "albums", then finally she will be done for the 5th time.

    I didn't think she attracted a lot of potheads. I guess you learn something new every day...

    Thank you....dope smokers just don't realize that not everyone appreciates their dope and its smoke.

    Hahaha!

    Yeah, if you're at a rock concert (or I guess a Britney Spears concert....lol!) you should expect to smell pot. I know people don't like being around that but that's like me saying for example..."Well, I don't like being around drunks" and still go to football/baseball games.
    Certain places, you should just expect certain things. If you don't like them, then don't go.

    i had a customer come in yesterday that went to the show. she said she had floor seats right in front of the sound booth, and apparently they were freaking out about something.
    the girl figured that it was really a technical problem and britney was covering it up by saying the smoke was bothering her.


    who knows.

    Maybe this is her way of turning a new page in her life. However to stop a show over the smell of weed in Canada seems a bit odd to me but then again we are talking about lip syncing B Spears here.

    Yea, while I was reading that article, it definitely seemed like it was an excuse for something. At first the smoke was bothering Britney and the dancers, then they said it was all about the lighting guys. Pick one excuse and stick to it.

    I love her advice to the kids... Don't smoke weed. But feel free to rock out and expose your genitals.

    She is a disgrace and those that buy her ''music''.
    She turned all the girls at my high school into teeny bopper sluts/hoes back in year 9 1999!

    I noticed that too... when I saw the title I thought 'good for her with plenty of kids at the concert' but when I read that I thought 'yep, I can see SHE'S changed' :roll:
