US singer John Mayer has reportedly defended Britney Spears after her recent miming drama in Australia.

Spears, 27, came under fire from fans for lip-synching at her recent gig in Perth, which caused around 100 outraged fans to leave the venue mid-performance.

Mayer tweeted: "If you're shocked that Britney was lip-synching at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you."

As well as her miming, fans were angry that the Gimme More singer only gave a generic greeting, saying "What's up Australia?" instead of mentioning the city by its name.

One fan, who paid $148 for her ticket, said: "It was so impersonal. She did not interact with her audience.

"There were no big TV screens projecting the action, so if you didn't know Britney, you might have even doubted it was her."
