Britney Spears delays Vancouver concert due to smoke

Per the Vancouver Sun, Britney Spears has apparently left the stage at her concert at GM Place in Vancouver tonight after just two songs due to excessive smoke. It has led to a 30-minute delay for fans without any sign of Spears.

The Sun wrote in its live blog: "9:03: “We want Britney.” Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. “We want Britney.” The organ is playing. This is like a hockey game without any players."

Twitterers both at the concert at GM Place and in the Vancouver area provided tweets on the news before it made the Sun's Web site:
