Britney Spears hints at world tour
Updated on 30 September 2008
Britney Spears has said she plans to make her first international tour since 2004 to support her new album, Circus.
In an interview, Spears was asked if she planned to go on tour. "Oh definitely, next year," she said, adding the tour would probably take her "around the world."
Last year, Spears performed in a handful of club shows in California under the name the M+M's but did not go on the road to promote her last album, Blackout, which had a good chart debut in November 2007 but faded quickly.
After more than a year of making headlines for shaving her head, attacking paparazzi with an umbrella and two admissions to psychiatric hospital units, Spears, 26, is preparing for a comeback.
Her last live public performance was a much-ridiculed rendition of Gimme More at the MTV Video Music Awards a year ago.
The singer's latest single Womanizer is the first off Circus, which will be released on December 2 - her 27th birthday.
Spears has been on the mend since her father took control of her business affairs in February. She won three awards for her song Piece of Me at this year's MTV video music awards.
Before her life spiralled out of control, Spears was an international pop phenomenon and one of the best-selling artists of the last decade with sales of more than 62 million albums.
