Man rushes stage at Britney Spears show

Britney Spears' first night back at her Las Vegas residency has been interrupted after a man rushed the stage.

The incident, which several fans captured on their phones and posted on social media, shows Spears asking the crowd, "Are you guys having fun?"

Upon quickly noticing the commotion going on behind her, she asked, visibly shaken, "Is something okay? What's going on?"

Security guards blocked Spears and escorted her off stage, while her dancers and more security guards subdued the intruder.

Concertgoers reported the singer clutching at her security team and asking, "He's got a gun?".

Fans chanted "a-hole" as the man - later identified by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department as 37-year-old Jesse Webb - was ushered out of the venue and taken to the Clark County Detention Centre. 

"Webb was asked to leave the concert by security prior to him jumping on stage and dancing," a statement from the department read.

Spears' four-year-long residency at the Axis auditorium inside Planet Hollywood, which has grossed over $US115 million for the popstar, culminates on December 31.
