Britney Spears has laughed off reports that her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James are banned from watching her raunchy 'live' shows.

The pop princess - who was joined by ex-husband Kevin Federline and her their sons on Tuesday in New Orleans - insists that the boys have not been banned by their father from attending her sexually-charged concerts.

A statement on her official website reads: "Contrary to rumours linked to false articles, Britney Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, will be joining her on the entire Circus tour and will be attending shows as planned.

"Britney's family is a huge inspiration and she loves having them on the road with her. "

A source tells People, "They all thought Britney was so amazing – her energy, her spirit.

"The show was completely sold out and it was just incredible. Britney was just really happy."
