Britney Spears has revealed that she has contemplated retiring from the music business.

Britney spoke to E! Online and discussed the idea of retirement as well as speaking about her imminent Las Vegas residency.

“I have thought about it, but I think right now is my time to perform and doing what I'm doing," she said.

She went on reveal how she is looking forward to slowing down saying: "If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I'd probably move back to Louisiana.

"I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There's no traffic like there is in L.A. It's really nice."

Britney’s Las Vegas show entitled “Britney Spears: Piece of Me” starts on December 27th.
