Lily Allen Not Coming To Cleveland, Or “Insert Town Here” - Tour Cancelled
Various news reports have stated that an exhausted and homesick Lily Allen has cancelled the remaining 20 tour dates she had scheduled for her US tour to promote her debut album Alright, Still. What exactly happened, read here:
The decision came after Lily saw her music boss boyfriend Seb Chew for the first time in weeks, an insider told the paper. “She realised she just wanted to be back home,” the source said. Seb had apparently flown out to meet Lily in New York, saying: “I’m really worried about her.”
Lily, 21, had apparently been telling fans that she had been “weeping under the duvet”. The singer apparently axed a gig in New York on Thursday although she appeared on The Today Show on Friday, reports NME. Lily’s management did not immediately return calls.
It was my intention to go to her show, sneak in backstage and ambush her with an impromtu interview, but bullocks to that. That little wuss is going back home to her friends and her man. Those with tickets for upcoming shows are being laughed at. Just kidding, refunds are to be issued. Damn crybaby Brits.
I was really looking forward to that show, jerk.

I hope you are joking when you say cry baby Brits. This is of no surprise to me. I read the cries for help on her MySpace blog. She wrote about crying and just wanting to go home. She descibed the Canada gigs as part of the “final stretch”. She talked about just wanting to go home to spend some time with her boyfriend. The girl is only 21, give her a break. If it is better for her health to cancel her tour, good on her. I don’t think she would look too good with a shaved head.

Here’s the thing. The music biz and fans are fickle. If you give people the impression you aren’t into it and can’t commit yourself to your job - and this is her job as she chose it - then they won’t commit to you.
I can’t see this boding well for her career in music, unless she quickly makes up those dates. Americans are funny like that - they are very pissy about getting screwed over. No matter what the reason.
I feel for her, she’s young and obviously misses her home, but get a grip. Two months? She couldn’t take a mini-break and finish up. Cripes that seems lame to me.

Damn! I thought we were going to be rid of her for a bit. Now the UK papers will be full of the annoying little tarts return home
