Singer voluntarily enters facility after erratic driving incident, where she was found to have drugs and alcohol in her system

Britney Spears has entered a rehab facility after her arrest in March for driving under the influence.

The pop singer was stopped by police in Ventura county, California, after driving erratically, and was found to have drugs and alcohol in her system. She was briefly detained, and her manager called Spears’ actions “completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.”

Spears has now voluntarily begun treatment at a rehabilitation centre, as confirmed by a representative for the singer.

After a career as one of the most significant pop artists in US history, Spears has spent time away from music: her last album was released in 2016 and her most recent chart appearance was in 2022, when she returned to the US and UK Top 10 with Hold Me Closer, a collaboration with Elton John.
