Britney Spears suffers wardrobe malfunction on stage

Britney Spears was the victim of an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction when her outfit ripped during her Las Vegas show on Friday (17Oct15).

The pop star was in the middle of performing her song 3 during her Piece of Me concert, when the zipper on the back of her full body leotard suddenly broke, exposing her back from her butt up to her neck.

In video footage of the mishap, Britney can be seen motioning to her male back-up dancers to zip her outfit back up, but none of them were successful.

Britney decided to carry on despite her back being exposed, and as soon as the song was done, she rushed back stage for a costume change.

It isn't the first time Britney's had an embarrassing moment during her Sin City residency - in February (15), a clump of her hair extensions fell out while she was performing a rigorous dance routine, and in April (15), she took a spill while performing You Drive Me (Crazy), a fall which subsequently led to her canceling two of her gigs at the Planet Hollywood resort.
