A topless Britney Spears has posted a new message to her fans, thanking them for their prayers "during this trying time".

Next to a photo of herself topless with her gloved arms crossed over her naked chest, the fallen popstar posted a cryptic message that said she was "blessed" to have committed fans.

"The reason for this letter is to let everyone know that their prayers have helped me," Britney says.

"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."

"We are all lights of the world and we all need to continuously inspire others and look to the higher power. You are all in my prayers. Godspeed. Love Britney.

Britney is rumoured to be performing twice in Florida this weekend under the stage name M+Ms as she continues an attempt to launch a musical comeback.

The star has hit the headlines over the past year over her divorce to Kevin Federline, for shaving her hair off and for entering and leaving rehab.
