On Wednesday night in Vancouver, Britney Spears walked off the stage three songs into her Circus concert. The show stopped for more than half an hour and the audience was not happy. So what prompted her to just walk off?

Cigarette smokes was the reason Britney Spears walked off the stage. According to the Vancouver Sun, the smoke made the performers including Spears uncomfortable. The performance continued after the smoke cleared. While the audience was waiting for the show to resume, intermission music from hockey games was being played. A concertgoer said that the intermission music left the fans, "really pissed off. The break in the concert ruined it for everyone. The vibe was gone."

When Spears returned, she performed "Me Against the Music," followed by "Everytime." During the performance she asked, "What's up, Vancouver?" before she again left the stage, some 90 seconds before the end of the song.

The concert ended with her singing "Womanizer" and telling the crowd, "Vancouver, don't smoke weed." Her sign-off was also peppered with a couple of X-rated expletives and a warning to "drive safe."

A statement was posted after the show on her web site 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."

Hmm I wonder if it really was the smoke that made Britney leave the stage.
