Britney Spears is taking a hiatus from Vegas.

The “Make Me…” singer has been calling the city of sin home for four years, while she performed 248 shows as part of her Britney: Piece of Me residency at the Zappos Theaterat the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

The show was so popular that it twice won the Best of Las Vegas award.

In October, the 37 year old announced that she would be returning to the strip in 2019 with her Domination residency at the Park Theatre at the Park MGM Casino & Resort.

However, plans have now changed as Britney explained in a post to her fans on social media, complete with a photo of a much younger version of her in an adorable pink costume.

The singer confirmed that she would be taking an indefinite break due to her father’s ailing health.

“It’s important to always put your family first… and that’s the decision I had to make. A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time. I hope you all can understand,” she wrote in the Instagram post which announced that the show will not go on.

We won’t hold it against you, Brit.
