Britney Spears gets string of death threats

“Britney Spears received some anonymous death threats over the phone and in the mail, and her worst fear is a kidnap plot against Sean or Jayden. She’s been having terrible nightmares ever since then and she wakes up in the middle of the night crying out for her boys,” a website quoted a source as saying.

Pop star Britney Spears has reportedly threatened to cancel her ongoing tour after receiving a string of death threats.



The "Toxic" singer, who kickstarted ‘Circus´ earlier this month - has become increasingly concerned that the lives of her sons Sean Preston aged three, and two-year-old Jayden James could be in danger following the alleged threat messages, the Music-news.com reported.

"Britney received some anonymous death threats over the phone and in the mail, and her worst fear is a kidnap plot against Sean or

Jayden. She’s been having terrible nightmares ever since then and she wakes up in the middle of the night crying out for her boys," the website quoted a source as saying.

“She told her head of security and he thinks it’s a lone stalker. Her paranoia has reached fever pitch and she’s wracked with fear,” the source added.

The 27-year-old singer is said to be upset after she was criticised for not singing live during recent performances, and those close to her are concerned that she may crack under the pressure.

“Britney is under so much strain, what with relentless performing, the bad reviews and the worry over her boys. It all got too much and she screamed at her team, ‘I can’t do this any more, why are you all torturing me?´ She ran out of the room crying,” the source said.
