Albums over for Lily Allen

Thu 24th Sep, 2009 in International News

Lily Allen has committed herself to – œgreatest hits’ tours a little earlier than most, with the announcement that she’s done with making records.

In a blog post that has the likes of MTV trumpeting – œLily Allen Quits!’, the 24-year-old singer writes: “Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record (applause). I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade.”

The last few weeks have seen Allen decrying file-sharing, and suggesting that high-selling bands like Radiohead can afford to be apathetic to the issue. Her blog would suggest the argument still stands.

“The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned,” she continues, “so I don’t (at this point) stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material (which wont be much).” Lock her in for Big Day Out 2011 and 2012, then?
