Britney Spears injured her ankle during one of her Las Vegas shows earlier this week, and is now canceling this weekend’s performances as a result of that injury.
It was Wednesday night at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino when Britney Spears danced her way across the stage, but suddenly fell to the floor in the middle of her routine.
She initially believed she was just fine, and assured fans of her ‘Piece of Me’ tour exactly that via Twitter.
It seems the ‘Toxic’ singer wasn’t as fine as she first believed, however. On Thursday she announced that this weekend’s shows would have to be postponed.
Thank you for all of the sweet wishes! Had a little scare on stage tonight with my ankle but I’m ok!

Britney Spears was bolstered by the support of her fans, even in light of her mishap and subsequent ankle injury.
Your kind words mean everything to me! I'm rescheduling this weekend’s shows and will let ya'll know when we have the new dates. xoxo

You can see Britney Spears take that tumble on stage at about the 1:45 mark in the video clip below.
Not too long before her tumble on stage, Spears got together with rapper Iggy Azalea. The two collaborated on a new song to be featured on Spears’s upcoming album.
Hopefully Britney Spears makes a quick and full recovery and is out on stage at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, dancing and singing her way through her ‘Piece of Me’ tour in no time.
And hopefully those fans who are missing this weekend’s shows can get back to Las Vegas when they are rescheduled.
