Britney caused more rumours to fly when she walked off stage after just five songs at her Mexico City show, the final stop on her Pepsi-sponsored North American tour. Mid-way through song number five she simply said: "I'm sorry, Mexico, I love you. Bye,” Mexico City's Milenio newspaper reported. With that the lights went up and the audience – many a tad annoyed – were asked to leave. It was unclear whether the show would be rescheduled or whether concertgoers would get a refund, and record label Jive hadn’t commented by the end of yesterday. The concert shenanigans followed trouble with the Mexican press on her arrival last week. "I got off the plane and everyone was driving really recklessly around me, all the paparazzi. And they almost hit our vehicle and they kept on getting out,” she said after her outburst at the airport, "But I love my fans here, I embrace them completely. It was the paparazzi that I was mad at.” Rumours are that Britney is suffering from stress and exhaustion and is expected to take time off later this year.
