According to People.com, Britney has had to put her work on hold.

She posted on Twitter explaining what happened:

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. I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart. pic.twitter.com/kHgFAVTjNA

However, it’s important to always put your family first… and that’s the decision I had to make. 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. More information on ticket refunds is available on https://t.co/SBF4WxXT31.

I appreciate your prayers and support for my family during this time. Thank you, and love you all… always.

Her father, Jamie Spears, suffered a life-threatening colon rupture.

Thankfully, he’s expected to recover.

But it’s a long, long road.

One that Britney plans to take with him.
