Britney Spears Admits She's Working On A New Memoir

Britney Spears has stated that she is working on a book, confirming rumours in the US media that the pop queen was planning a new tell-all memoir.

Spears announced the news in an Instagram statement on Monday night.

The memoir, according to the singer, will address terrible moments in her life that she has "never been able to convey honestly."

A judge ended a legal guardianship that had ruled over many parts of her life for almost a decade in November.

When Spears suffered a mental health crisis in 2008, her father, Jamie Spears, placed her under conservatorship.

He had complete control over her finances and career decisions, as well as crucial personal considerations like her visits to her teenage sons and whether she might remarry, thanks to the contentious arrangement.

While the actress has remained tight-lipped about a possible release date or publisher, Page Six reported in February that she had signed a $15 million ($11.4 million) agreement with Simon & Schuster to chronicle her life, career, and relationship with her family during and after her conservatorship.

Spears claimed that writing the book was "healing and therapeutic," however she admitted that revisiting earlier incidents in her life had been difficult.

The 40-year-old noted that she approached the memoir with a "intellectual approach."
