Britney Spears has her fans worried after collapsing

New Delhi, July 11, 2009: Britney Spears has her millions of fans worried after collapsing. The pop diva who was advised by Michael Jackson to leave the industry to save her from controversies collapsed during a rehearsal.




Britney Spears became a pop culture icon immediately after launching her recording career. Rolling Stone magazine wrote: "One of the most controversial and successful female vocalists of the 21st century," she "spearheaded the rise of post-millennial teen pop ... Spears early on cultivated a mixture of innocence and experience that broke the bank".

She is listed by the Guinness World Records as having the "Best-selling album by a teenage solo artist" for her debut album ...Baby One More Time which sold over thirteen million copies in the United States.

Melissa Ruggieri of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported, "She's also marked for being the best-selling teenage artist. Before she turned 20 in 2001, Spears sold more than 37 million albums worldwide". Barbara Ellen of The Observer reported: "Spears is famously one of the 'oldest' teenagers pop has ever produced, almost middle aged in terms of focus and determination. Many 19-year-olds haven't even started working by that age, whereas Britney, a former Mouseketeer, was that most unusual and volatile of American phenomena — a child with a full-time career. While other little girls were putting posters on their walls, Britney was wanting to be the poster on the wall. Whereas other children develop at their own pace, Britney was developing at a pace set by the ferociously competitive American entertainment industry".

Spears collapsed during rehearsal for European leg of her Circus world tour.

The "Toxic" hitmaker was practising a dance routine for a new song when she keeled over, suffering a bruise to her chest, reported IANS-WENN.

"She collapsed when the dancers went to put her back on her feet. She fell to the floor and landed on one of the dancers' legs," said a source.

"The dancer's tennis shoe smacked Britney in the chest and on the face. It hit her chest with such a force that it caused a four-inch bruise," added the source.

It was reported that Britney's hectic tour schedule and a low blood-sugar level were responsible for the incident. (With IANS Inputs)
