Lily Allen too ill to fly to Benicassim
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 19 July 2010
Lily Allen isn’t well, it seems. After apparently pulling out of two TV and radio appearances earlier this month, she had to cancel her performance at this weekend’s Benicassim festival after doctors told her she was too ill to fly to Spain.
A statement on the festival’s website this weekend: “Lily Allen regrets that she has been forced to pull out of her appearance tomorrow at the Benicassim festival due to illness. Having been advised by her doctor that she would be unfit to travel in the next seven days Lily had no option but to cancel. She sends her deepest apologies to fans”.
Allen herself posted via Twitter: “My deepest apologies. I really am truly sorry, I was so excited but the doc wouldn’t allow it. I hate letting down my fans. I’ve done this four times over the past two years, sadly Spain has had a raw deal or a lucky escape depending on which way you’re looking at it. Sorry Benicassim”.
Isn’t Allen meant to have retired from music anyway? Was her Benicassim set going to consist of her talking through her latest fashion designs, and maybe stitching together a vest? Anyway, get well soon Lily.
