CLEVELAND - An ailing Britney Spears postponed her concert Thursday night at Gund Arena, her third postponement in as many weeks.

Publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said she didn’t know specifics of Spears’ illness. The singer postponed two shows in mid-March because of a knee injury suffered while performing in Moline, Ill.
