Jive Records released this statement earlier today:

“Amidst a two and a half week European promotional tour for the launch of her new album, In the Zone, recording artist Britney Spears has been ordered bed rest as a result of the flu and a severe throat infection. Representatives for Spears have cancelled tonight’s performance at a French nightclub. Spears will resume her European tour with visits to Germany, UK, Spain, and back to France.”
