Spears says she is working on a new album, but that she is concentrating more on raising her sons.

Britney Spears has revealed that she is focusing on motherhood rather than making a new album.

The singer has played a residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas since 2013, the year her most recent album Britney Jean was released. She said she is working on a new album, but that she is concentrating more on raising her sons, nine-year-old Sean and Jayden, eight, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Spears told Billboard: “I’m going to do a new album slowly but surely. There’s a lot going on with my kids and schools. I’m going to do my best to make an amazing new album, but it’s not my full priority right now.”

Spears’ Planet Hollywood residency is scheduled to last until at least the end of 2015, having so far raised ticket money of $42 million (£27 million).

Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph says the residency may extend until 2017, with the singer likely to focus on releasing on one-off singles until the shows end. He said: “Albums just aren’t as important in the digital age as they used to be. Britney will get to one eventually, just not right now.”
