Britney Spears is taking some time off to be with family.

The singer announced in a press release on Friday that she is going on an indefinite work hiatus, and will be putting her "Britney: Domination" show at Park Theater at the Park MGM resort in Las Vegas on hold until further notice.

Britney, 37, made the decision in order to devote all of her time to her family right now, and to care for her father, Jamie Spears. He was rushed to the hospital two months ago when his colon ruptured, and is currently undergoing recovery for a life-threatening illness. According to the release, Jamie spent the next 28 days in the hospital, and the family credits the doctors and nurses for saving his life. He is expected to make a full recovery.

"I am dedicating my focus and energy to care for my family," Britney said in a statement. "We have a very special relationship and I want to be with my family at this time just like they have always been there for me."
