Britney Spears Plans New World Tour for 2008-2009

It is beginning to look like the rumors are true. Britney Spears is planning a world tour, and is currently training to get her body, her voice and her psyche ready to go.  According to this article, an insider tells the New York Post, “Britney will be leaving the country in the next few weeks, after training in privacy for a month. She is planning a global tour.”

Now we don’t know WHO this insider is, but this goes along with quite a few other bits of info that have been trickling out from various places, telling us that Britney Spears is indeed ready for a big comeback, after spending a week in a rehab facility.

Doubters will say one week is not nearly enough time to let a bad life fall apart and let a new, healing one begin to come together.  And that what Britney needs right now much more than to be on a gruelling road schedule is to be home, with people she really trusts- maybe her mom and sister if that’s the best she can do- and really get grounded, solid, simple and normal again. Refinding who she really is. or maybe, finding herself for the first time.

The interest in a world tour will be largely to see if, when and how badly she crashes and burns.  Why is it so hard, once people are famous, to let all of that go, and fall back into a simple, real, grounded life for a while, and then see about making another go?

Good luck Britney. We wish you well with your deep healing.  To us, that’s much more important than a world tour.
