I can understand she doesn´t want to be in public anymore, but to maintain the website, to put the discography on streaming sites, even to relaese Best albums and other complilation stuff is still still possible because it´s music lable´s staff to do this. maybe she has to sign some papers here and there but nothing more. (at least I guess it is not more)
But this complete shutdown is like "inthezone" said a bit unfair to her fans who supported her for 25 years (and brought her a sure not little amount of money to be able to retire at 40 and never have financial sorrow again)

That’s the thing. I respect and understand her decision to stop being a performer/public figure. It’s totally fine to do it, but shutting everything down is very extreme and it’s impossible to erase all traces public existence with the internet. And it’s not like she’s pulled her stuff from amazon or iTunes or hmv/tower records so people still see her stuff. I wonder if there’s a different kind of feeling or motivation behind it that we don’t know, because it doesn’t seem like it would be a big deal to leave stuff up online, even unmaintained. I really wonder if this erasure is because of the jerks in the press that kept harassing her and her staff last year.
