Angry fans say "Cirque du So Lame"

VANCOUVER — Britney Spears fans have set up a website demanding a refund for her April 8 concert in Vancouver after the pop star walked off the stage for more than half an hour complaining of smoke.



Spears blamed "ventilation issues" brought on by smokers in the crowd for her decision to temporarily halt her glitzy comeback concert tour, Circus. The sold-out crowd of 18,000 was left to chant in the dark, repeatedly calling for Spears to reappear on stage.

After appearing on the GM Place stage at 8:17 p.m. and performing a couple of songs, she vanished, leaving a chanting, swaying crowd calling for her return.

After an announcement that smoke had caused the performer’s problem, she finally appeared again at 9:05 p.m. to wow her adoring fans with the rest of her concert.
