For years, Britney Spears's conservatorship made the live stage she once loved part of the prison her father Jamie Spears built as the conservator of her estate. But now that his tyrannical rule is finally over, Spears is basking in her newfound freedom — and that could mean never returning to the stage ever again.
TMZ has reported that people intimately involved in Spears's touring and music business dealings strongly believe the first female mega pop star of the millennium may no longer perform again. As heartbreaking as it may be for her millions of fans and supporters, Spears's reluctance to return to the stage isn't the least bit surprising. In July, Larry Rudolph, Spears's longtime manager of more than 25 years, resigned from his position. He noted in an email sent to Spears's personal conservator Jodi Montgomery, and Spears's father, that Spears informed him she wanted to take an indefinite hiatus from work when they last communicated more than 2.5 years earlier. The longtime manager's decision to leave seemed to have ultimately been made after learning of Spears's intentions on retiring completely from music.
