Current mood:  artistic
Hey Guys ,
I'm writing to tell you that I have cancelled many of my May and June tour commitments in America . The reason for this , is because my mummy and daddy are very rich , and I have never been in a position where i have actually had to do any hard work before . I thought that being a popstar meant going out getting trashed with famous people and sleeping in all day . The fact that this is not true has come as a huge dissapiontment to me , and as a result I am throwing the towel in .

No but seriously , I have been on tour with this album for a year now , I have fulfilled every commitment up to this point . I am tired , but more than that I don't think I have been giving my best performances recently . I have been getting really drunk because i've been so nervous about doing bad shows , and I don't want people spending money on a going to see a show that isnt the best it could be . I am not falling apart at the seems , I am not suffering with exhaustion , I am not pregnant , and I am not going to rehab . I will be here in America , promoting the album and also starting to write the second album , which I am beyond excited about . The LA and New York shows will still be happening , and I am still playing Coachella and Bonaroo and all the other festivals .

I'd like to apologise to anyone who has bought tickets , but you can get your money back , if you take 'em back to the place you bought them from .

Why is this lame?
Lily has got herself where she is today.
she has made the comminments
she wrote the music.
Why shouldnt she get some time off!

Obviosly you care too much about the ' countdowns' to respect lily's music.
Who gives a flying Fuck what happens in 10 years to come.
If you like her music then It wont matter where she comes in the charts!

who are you or anyone for that matter, to tell her that she is going to regret it?!

I suggest that people who agree with YOU should keep their opinions muted until they are in the same postion as Lily.
Therefore, have the knowledge and experince to judge fairly.

Thats all.
Take care x

Also I think The States is like the worst place to cancel on strategically speaking I wouldn't cancel a tour there and your worst show is probably still shit loads better than most of America's best so I say get on with it

Now, hey, Joy, why would you advise against skipping The States, then
take a swipe at "most of America's best?"  Don't you know that bruises a person
like me who happens to be  from Texas and lives in New York City.   I am a big
fan of Lily's and quite an anglophile.   Reminds me of the time I went to see The Police in concert, then met UB40 afterwards and congratulated them on their opening set.   Instead of appreciating my compliment,  they went on to talk about how Brits were so far ahead in taste and had been into Reggae for a long time.
I vow not to generalize about Brits when I gig there.   It sucks to be a concert and
hear some Engliish musician talk about American television for example.  I just
want them to shut up and play their music because I don't know what they're talking aout since I haven't had a tv. in years.    Thanks to Lily for making me laugh and sing along.

I understand what you're saying but by the same token I definitely think Britain and Canada are way ahead of  The States right now in terms of the music scene. We just are, My Chemical Romance, Jessica Simpson, Daughtry {I love Chris but honestly} the crap that's coming out and being focused on is just that. Crap, the real good folks like John Mayer and Amos Lee barely get a wayward glance. That's why Britain {and Canada} and people like Lily here are leading the way in music right now and that's why she shouldn't cancel the tour. We need music like this. now's the time to make an impact. Not to say The States doesn't have good music {duh} but there really isn't much evidence of that in the media at the minute. Britain is giving the deserved {Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Oasis, James Morrison} the attention. Rewarding the meritorious, I just don't see that happening in the States right now. Sorry but I don't.

I love how you say Canada and Britain are way ahead of the states in terms of music when your music doesnt exactly have bragging rights....Think before you speak lady. I highly doubt you want to step on toes in the States if you yourself are trying to make it in the music biz. We as Americans are quite happy with the music we have. Every country and every part of this great world has different taste in music. It doesnt mean one type of music is better then the other or that one country is better then the other.

In short - you need to seriously stop bashing the States and the music we listen to. Just because you dont like it - doesnt mean its not good. Just like I dont like yours - it just may be the style there in Canada.

Whatever honey, you're clearly misreading what I'm saying but yes Canada and Britain are ahead of the States in music right now, and yes my music is good I wouldn't be making it if it sucked but say what you want because it's kind of irrelevant anyway...

if u noticed...she hasn't been around much for one...and two...the music industries are far beyond that of a couple people u have mentioned. think twice b4 dissin the states...the "celebrities" aren't all thats out there. some are good, some are bad. its all a matter of opinion

who's dissing anybody I'm just saying the states is not where it's at musically right now. It just isn't. Why do always feel the need to be on top. I never said you didn't have good artist but you aren't showcasing them and britain is, and I won't think twice about anything I'm Canadian and proud of it I'll say whatever I want. Instead of arguing with me why don't you go support some live music that actually deserves it and help disprove my point. Put your dollars towards someone who deserves it go support them THEY need your help. Then maybe you won't have po'd Canadians telling you how bad things are over there.

You are not really being fair. You compare cool indy Brits and Canucks with mainstream drivelly U.S. pop trash. We have pop trash in Canada too. Some of the coolest sounds in the world are coming out of American hearts and minds: The Muffs, Dan Bern, Ani DiFranco...holy smokin' Moses, lady! There is great music in the U.S., you just have to listen.

I'm bringing sexy back ..

 

Lily, you are an amazing artist but I don't understand why you are 'throwing in the towel' now. America is a hard nut to crack, you are in a position many would die for, and cancelling your tour just makes you seem ungrateful.

I heard you'd cancelled loads of committments cos of homesickness ... don't do this, you're still so young, you've been some amazing places and seen some amazing things. I'd die to go some of the places you go everyday and yet you want to come home. You've got years to settle down so why you want to chuck it all in now I've got no idea.

In three words, SUCK IT UP! If you can make it in America, and you can, you'll never look back, you're miles better than anything out there at the moment.
