AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has assured fans that they will see her on the stage again soon after her longtime manager, Larry Rudolph, suggested that the pop star should not resume performing again. When asked by reporters in Thousand Oaks on Friday, May 17 whether she would be performing soon, Britney simply answered, "Of course."

Making fans more hopeful about her stage return, the "...Baby One More Time" singer recently shared on Instagram a video of her dancing to Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream". Fans initially believed that the video was recorded before her rehab stint as they pointed out similarities between the recent video and a video she shared last year, in which she was wearing the same outfit. However, multiple sources insisted that it was shot a few days ago.

This comes after Larry suggested that Britney was not in mental or physical shape to return to the stage. "From what I have gathered it's clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again," he said, before sharing that he wouldn't pressure the star to return to work before she's ready.

"I have no desire or ability to make her work again," he confessed. "I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I'm here to tell her if it's a good idea or a bad idea."

Britney completed her stay at a mental health facility last month amid reports that she was forced to enter the facility against her will. While the blonde beauty previously said that "all is well," she reportedly told the judge at a recent hearing that she was forced into the 30-day stay without her consent. She also said that her father, Jamie, forced her to take drugs, with her mother's lawyer allegedly backing up her allegation.
