Downpour on Britney gig Down Under

A downpour in Sydney on Wednesday forced organisers of Britney Spears' first live performance in Australia to scramble.

Spears was to have played at a 10,000-capacity open-air arena at Sydney's Fox Studios, but torrential rain made it necessary to reschedule the show for later in the day at a smaller site at the studios.

The trip is Britney’s second to Australia after she arrived in Sydney last year on the morning after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.

On that occasion the pop queen was forced to have an extended stay due to an embargo on international flights.
