Britney Spears' mother Lynne has confirmed her daughter plans to hit the road for a world tour.

Spears hasn't played a full string of live dates since her Onyx Hotel world tour in 2004.

But the Toxic hitmaker was recently rumoured to be planning a major international trek next year (09) to coincide with the release of her new album, Circus, in December (08).

And now her mother Lynne has confirmed the plans, saying, "She's releasing music, she has plans to do tours and some other little secrets that I can't tell you. It's going to be fabulous though." (c) WENN
