BEYONCE KNOWLES is planning a two-year career break after her current tour so she can focus on her private life.

The singer and actress, 27, is married to rap mogul JAY-Z, but has to do some careful planning in her packed schedule to find time to see him.

The star is currently on the European leg of her I am... tour.

She says: "My priorities are slowly changing. So after this tour I might take two years off. I've worked hard enough to be able to do that. We try to synch our calendars. I started working on my tour a year ago to make sure I had time at home."
