Pop princess Britney Spears has thanked fans for their continual support for what the singer saw as a “trying time”. In a message left on her website (which is currently under re-construction), Spears said “I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by my side during this trying time.”

Spears recently re-entered the headlines for the right reasons, making one off performances in the United States earlier this month, indicating that she is on the road to recovery.

Tough times had taken over the twenty five year old, after a highly publicized divorce with former husband of two years Kevin Federline, and entering rehabilitation clinics three times in two months. It is believed that the singer will soon be working on material for a new album; Spears has not released an album in four years.
