Britney Spears Vegas residency in doubt over mental health concerns
Britney Spears’s Las Vegas residency may not go ahead, her manager has said.
Spears was due to begin her highly anticipated stint at Park MGM’S Park Theatre in February but postponed it after her father fell ill.
That was followed by fears for her mental health and she appeared in a Los Angeles court last week for a hearing over the conservatorship that has controlled her affairs for 11 years.
Larry Rudolph, who has worked with Spears for much of her career, beginning in 1998, said the pop star should not embark on the Las Vegas residency.
He said: “As the person who guides her career - based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a needto -know basis - from what I have gathered it’s clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again.”
Rudolph added: “I don’t want her to work again‘ ti ls he’ s ready, physically, mentally and passionately. If that time never comes again, it will never come again.”
Spears, 37, was placed under a conservatorship in 2008 following a public struggle with personal and psychiatric issues.
