Britney has confirmed she is taking a break from music, and hasn't made any commitment to when she might return.. In a letter on her website she writes: "Dear Fans. I am going to start writing this column now as often as possible...I am also going to take some time off to enjoy life. I've actually learned to say 'NO!'"
"Saying no" seems to include saying no to doing any promotion work on her upcoming Greatest Hits album, which has apparently pissed off a fair few people over at Jive Records who will now have to market the record without any interviews or promotional opportunities.
