Will Britney Spears Cancel Her Circus Tour?

Uh-oh. The planned comeback for pop singer Britney Spears may have hit a snag. According to the National Enquirer, Britney wants to cancel her $100 million world tour, "The Circus Featuring Britney Spears."
'Britney doesn't want to do it, and she's telling her father Jamie that,' an insider for The National Enquirer reports. 'All the dates are booked- and $100 million would be lost if she bails.' "
Ouch. It seems awfully soon for Britney to be prepping for a tour, given that around this time last year she was hospitalized twice.
'Both her father and ex-husband Kevin Federline are telling her she has to go on for the sake of her kids and their financial future,' the source confided. 'Jamie needs this tour for Britney to secure her wealth.' "
This is a tough one. I can hear people snarking about how he wants her money, so I have to wonder: is this for Britney's own personal future or other family members?
She is already exhausted getting in shape... Britney feels like she's being forced to tour. Britney can't back out now- there's just too much at stake."
Hopefully her doctor and other legal guardian (the attorney who is co-guardian with Jamie Spears) are weighing in on this, and they can figure out something that works for everyone involved.
Assuming this is true. The source is the National Enquirer, after all ;)

i read somewhere that k-fed is doing some reality show thing in conjunction with the tour...please...what a leech.
I think it's all together,...they know what they are doing..don't get me wrong..I LOVE FOR A FREAT COMEBACK FOR BRITNEY. I have been to 4 of hers concerts and I can't wait for this one...so I hope it's not canceled..but i also hope it's done when she is completed ready
I'll be surprised if she doesn't cancel.

Too much, too soon? I don't even know what to say about this because she doesn't seem like a happy person. She just seems to be going through the motions. I hate to see anybody going through something like this and I hope she finds peace.
A lot of her money was used up by the leaches that surrounded her for such a long time. Sam Lutfi kept helping himself to weekly checks in the amounts of 30 grand at a time. I remember reading that Jamie was upset that her bank account had been so depleted and that was one of the reasons he needed to be in charge of her finances or she would have been completely broke. I think it is too soon for a world tour, but I don't think it has to do with Jamie wanting to line his pockets.
i agree w/ you anonomyous; i think it is still too soon for britney to be making a "comeback"...

Wow, that would not be good if she cancelled. I tried to get tickets to her concert and they were sold out as soon as they went on sale!
I hope she doesn't cancel! I have row 15 in Vancouver, BC!

I don't believe it. These rumors were BOUND to get started sooner or later. I mean, I'm sure she's not 100 percent happy about the conservatorship, but she seemed really in to the dance rehearsals in those pics on her official website. It's not like she can just say "oh I don't want to do this tour, i just don't" and cancel it. She signed a contract with AEG Live and if she DOES back out, then she will get sued MAJORLY! I think she knows the results of canceling a tour, as she had to do that with her 2004 Onyx Hotel Tour after she injured her knee while shooting a music video. Her and her label lost a LOT of money for all the dates that had to be cancelled, I don't think they'd do that again unless it was an HONEST emergency. Anyways, fingers crossed she doesn't cancel. I have REALLY GOOD tickets for the Washington D.C. show in March!!

I think it's too much too soon, I feel like they're doing it for their own good at her expense.

"the show must go on" ......you're either in show business or you are not....it's not a easy business to be in...but it's her call just the same.....she looks ready to me
OMG i was so pissed when i found the show was canceled k-fed is probably just jealous he isnt has big as britney and he is saying crap to hold her back
I think this was brineys big comeback and someone got jealous and is triying to stop her ugh im so pissed
yes she should show daddy and manager that they became so concerned about her too late. none of them were really there for her when she was circling the drain. They are looking for their cut. She'll always be rich and famous. get rid of the other that ride on her coatails. take a much needed break. Then get back with Johnny Wright who has her best interest and health first
Seriously, you all that say she isn't ready are out of your minds...Britney is ready and has been working her butt off to get this far...she is a great performer, but she has dumb ppl like Kfed, and her father draining her for everything she is worth and its stressing her out...I would be upset too...the girl only wants to spend time with her kids, and she is at least being respectful about it, she isn't taking them on the tour bus, or in the arenas, she wants to put them in hotels...I highly doubt she cancels her tour cuz she has sold out shows across the globe, and she likes the fact that she has her fans back, she will lose them all if she cancels...Britney knows better than to do that...get a grip ppl, and think about it...Britney loves her kids, and you know what, other celebrities drag their kids on tour buses and home school them and nobody cares, but heaven for bid Britney wants to put her kids in 3 different hotels within 14 weeks with their father and she will come see them and everyone is panicing, why? she isn't doing anything wrong here, they are her kids, and they aren't in school yet, they are too little, so back up off her and leave her alone, she is at least being respectful enough to let the kids' father come along, and take care of them, and its not like they are going from city to city within a day like Britney has to...so quit bein so stupid and making dumb comments about her, she is the only celebrity that ppl want to complain about taking her kids on the road, when others do it all the time, and those other celebrities have kids that are actually in school, but are homeschooled on a tour bus, Britney isn't doing that to her kids...she is being a good mom...
i hope she doesn't cancel , i have tickets and my daughter is really excited ...
