Liza Minnelli stunned a star-studded audience by breaking down mid-performance during a show last week.

The Cabaret star was belting out a medley originally arranged for her mother, Judy Garland, at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas when she became "too emotional" to continue.

Stars including Barry Manilow, Renee Zellweger and Alan Cumming looked on as Minnelli took a few moments from singing before she "composed herself and finished the showstopper to a standing ovation", according to New York Post's gossip column PageSix.
