The `Hold It Against Me` hitmaker is desperate to play live in front of her fans again later this year, in what will be her first live dates since her `The Circus Starring Britney Spears` world tour in 2009. The pop superstar - who will be playing a host of tracks from her new album `Femme Fatale` - told New York radio station Z100: "It`s been two years since I did a major tour. It`s pretty crazy on the road. It`s a completely different lifestyle. You get used to it and you just grow to love it - I have been missing it. The tours and everything make it worth what I do." Britney also opened up about her private life, saying she`s not bothered about what stories come out about her health and love life because her family help her deal with the pressures of fame. The 29-year-old singer - who has two sons, Sean Preston, five, and Jayden James, four, from her marriage to Kevin Federline - added: "I`ve kind of gotten to a point where I know what`s real and I know what`s not. I have such an amazing family that supports me in everything that I do. We brush it off. "When you`re young and you`re starting out a lot of it can be a little annoying, because when you`re starting out they say hurtful things. "You get to a point where it`s enough already and you just brush them all off and everyone kind of laughs at them." Britney`s summer 2011 US tour is scheduled for 26 dates, starting on June 17 in Sacramento, California.
