Britney Spears will not appear on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The singer, 26, was rumoured to be making a comeback at the lavish ceremony on 7 September.

But her manager insists she’s too busy.

‘Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMAs this year,’ Larry Rudolf told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show.

‘I'm telling you officially and unequivocally. [She] is in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and was never supposed to perform at that show.’

But Brit, who has been nominated for her single Piece Of Me, will feature in ads with host Russell Brand leading up to the event.

Last year she was criticised for her lacklustre rendition of Gimme More.
