From Britney’s Manager :

Britney’s manager, Adam Leber tells CNN, “I assume their account has been hacked.” He continues on to say, “I haven’t spoken to anyone… as of yet but I am certain their account was hacked.

Britney is fine and well. There have been a few Internet clowns over the years who have made similar claims about her death, but never from the official Sony Music Twitter account.”
