In 2008, Spears\u2019 father, Jamie, was named the singer\u2019s conservator, giving him control of nearly all of her business and personal affairs. But recently, he has come under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/freebritney-britney-spears-legal-829246\/\">public scrutiny<\/a>, with Spears herself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britney-spears-addresses-mental-health-rumors-instagram-video-826453\/\">hinting<\/a> about a release from the arrangement on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is unknown what was said during last Friday\u2019s court hearing, though the judge reportedly ordered Spears to undergo a 730 expert evaluation, a competence examination typically given to children in divorce cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Spears\u2019 manager, Rudolph is not involved in any way with her conservatorship. Still, he acknowledged the various medical and mental health issues that have reportedly been plaguing Spears since she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britney-spears-postpones-vegas-residency-775037\/\">postponed<\/a> her Las Vegas residency in January after her father fell ill. More recently, Spears spent a month in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britney-spears-mental-health-facility-817379\/\">mental health facility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt was the perfect storm,\u201d Rudolph said. \u201cWe had to pull her show because her meds stopped working and she was distraught over her dad\u2019s illness.\u201d Rudolph added that last summer Spears had been eager to tour, but said he hasn\u2019t heard from the singer in months. \u201cShe clearly doesn\u2019t want to perform now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Rudolph said he did not know when Spears would want to work again, but said, \u201cI don\u2019t want her to work again \u2019till she\u2019s ready, physically, mentally and passionately. If that time never comes again it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again. I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I\u2019m here to tell her if it\u2019s a good idea or a bad idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/britneys-spears-manager-never-perform-live-835541\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britney Spears\u2019 manager Larry Rudolph said the pop star may never perform live again in a new interview with TMZ. \u201cAs the person who guides her career \u2014 based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis \u2014 from what I have gathered [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2444208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-music-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-19 03:29:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2444208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444208\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2444208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2444208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2444208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
