Britney Spears confirms she is writing a book and says the process is ‘therapeutic’

Britney Spears has confirmed she is writing a book and says the process has been “healing and therapeutic”.

The 40-year-old Toxic singer said there are parts of her life she can never “put openly” as she shared the news on social media.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I’m currently writing a book as it is actually healing and therapeutic.

“It’s also hard to bring up past events in my life … I’ve never been able to express myself openly.”

She added, “I can only imagine sounding childish, but I was extremely young when these events took place… and if I bring it up now, I’m sure it will seem irrelevant to most.”

“I’m fully aware of that.

“But instead of using my heart, I use the intellectual approach.”

The pop star’s controversial conservatorship, which controlled many aspects of her life, including her finances, ended last November.

She was placed under the statutory regime in 2008 for substance abuse and mental health issues.

The decision to end the conservatory closed one of the most controversial chapters in the history of modern pop music and handed Spears the keys to her estimated $60m (£45m) estate.

Spears’ fiancé Sam Asghari, 28, commented on her post and said he would “buy the first copy”.
