Britney Spears's 'Domination' Gets Puts On Hold After Her 'Indefinite Work Hiatus'

It's a sad day for those hoping to be able to see Britney Spears "dominate" the stage this year.


On Friday (January 4), the pop star reported that she's taking a "indefinite work hiatus" when she takes time off to care for her ailing father. That demonstrates her Domination residency show in Las Vegas — which was slated to kick off in February at the Park MGM's Park Theatre — has been postponed indefinitely.


"I do not actually know where to begin with this, because this is so tough for me to mention Spears wrote on Twitter and Instagram, alongside a throwback pic of her and her parents. "I will not be performing my new show Domination. I have been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart. Although, it's key to habitually put your family members first... And that's the decision I had to make."


She continued, "A couple of months prior, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We're all so grateful that he came out of it alive, yet he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to create the hard choice to put my full focus and energy on my family member at this time. I hope you all can understand."


A press release from Spears's rep further revealed that Jamie was hospitalized two months prior soon after his colon spontaneously ruptured, resulting in emergency surgery. He is now recuperating at residence and is expected to prepare a full recovery immediately after "a long, complex post-operative period."


The Britney: Domination run of 32 shows — which was originally reported throughout a splashy event on the Strip back in October — was set to start on February 13 and run through August 17 (fans can find refund data here). Spears was also rumored to be working on her tenth studio album to coincide with the residency, nevertheless the fate of that LP is currently also unclear.


The bright side? At least we'll routinely have Brit's jaw-dropping video teasers to remind us of the choreo that awaits us, should Domination ever find its way to the stage. Sigh.
