The singer, who has a
residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, is canceling
the performances that had been scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights.
"Britney injured her
ankle during her performance Wednesday evening and her doctor has advised her
not to perform Friday and Saturday evening so that she may heal," read a
statement from the singer and the venue. "Britney Spears, Planet Hollywood
Resort & Casino and Live
Nation apologize for any inconvenience this causes ticket
holders."
On Wednesday night,
Spears, 33, was dancing to her song "Crazy" when she tweaked her
ankle and fell. Earlier today, she assured fans that she was feeling fine.
"Thank you for all of
the sweet wishes! Had a little scare on stage tonight with my ankle but I’m
ok!" she tweeted.
The singer has had a
residency in Las Vegas since 2014. She's also begun working on a new album
"slowly but surely" -- though her focus right now is on her sons,
Sean Preston, 9, and Jayden James, 8.
"There's a lot going
on with my kids and schools and, you know, adding new sports and stuff like
that,” she told Billboard last month. “I'm going to try to do my best to do an
amazing album, but it's not my full priority right now.”
