Lily Allen Seen Smoking A Cigarette In New York Despite Quitting Following Health Scare
The record has drawn attention for her explicit and brutally honest
lyrics about the breakdown of her four year marriage to David Harbour,
which ended last December after she accused the actor of having affairs.
Lily Allen, 40 - who announced her first tour
in seven years on Thursday - has declared on multiple occasions that she was
quitting smoking following a series of health woes.
Her first attempt at being smoke-free was in
2009 and secondly in 2014 after she suffered two asthma attacks in a row.
Again in 2020, Lily Allen revealed
on social media that she planned on giving up for good as
she celebrated one month of no smoking.
However, in an interview last week Lily Allen
revealed she had began smoking and vaping again while writing the new album
that involved 'lots of crying' - despite declaring the habit is 'disgusting'.
She told The Times: 'If I
didn’t vape, I’d be smoking cigarettes, and that would be disgusting. Actually,
I was vaping and smoking cigarettes at the time, so it was a Parliament Light
in one hand, a vape in the other, and lots of crying, lots of storytelling.
'I was processing a long relationship, and so
things I hadn’t really considered before were coming up and I was like, “Do you
think that when this was happening?”'
Lily Allen cut a trendy figure in a plain
white T-shirt and leather jacket, while sporting £351 Supreme x The Exorcist
Sweatpants as she stepped out with relatives Iris, Nell and Gracie Allen.
She announced she will perform her
explosive single as well as her other hits during her brand new theatre tour
next year.
Lily will tour the UK in March, with her
first shows kicking off in Glasgow before moving to Liverpool, Newcastle,
Bristol and Cardiff.
It will conclude at the London Palladium,
with Lily performing at the renowned venue for two nights.
Tickets for the shows will go on sale on
Friday, November 7 at 10am. The Not Fair hitmaker last went on tour in 2018
with her album No Shame.
She has made only a handful of live
performances since then, such as a guest appearance with Olivia Rodrigo in 2022
and this year's Glastonbury as she put an animated display at Worthy Farm.
In her most talked about track, titled
Madeline, she appears to directly address David's infidelity with the mystery
woman, who she gives the fictional moniker.
In Lily's song Madeline, she sings: 'How
long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?/ He told me it
would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open.
'Why would I trust anything that comes out of
his mouth?/I'm not convinced that he didn't f**k you in our house'.
The chorus reads: 'We had an arrangement/ Be
discrete and don't be blatant. There had to be payment/ It had to be with
strangers/ But you're not a stranger, Madeline'.
The Mail On Sunday exclusively revealed
Madeline's real identity and spoke to the woman at the centre of the storm at
her home in the US.
Lily's split from David led her to check into a £8,000-a-week trauma
treatment centre at the time to focus on her mental
health.
And she admitted that she has used her music
as a way to work through the dark feelings she was having and to 'lay my truth
on the table'.
The mother-of-two said: 'Nobody knew what was
going on in my life. So I got into the studio, cried for two hours and then
said, "Let’s make some music".'
Meanwhile, Lily recently dropped a huge hint she had mended her
relationship with her ex-husband as she insisted she doesn't want
'revenge' on him in a new interview.
During a chat with Interview magazine, Lily
claimed she now feels 'differently' about their marriage breakdown, after first
penning the record last December.
When asked whether the new album is a
'revenge tour', Lily said: 'It isn't. I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in
December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now. We all go
through breakups and it's always f***ing brutal.
'But I don't think it's that often that you
feel inclined to write about it while you're in it.'
She added: 'That's what's fun about this
record; it's viscerally like going through the motions. At the time, I was
really trying to process things and that's great in terms of the album, but I
don't feel confused or angry now. I don't need revenge.
'It's not a cruel album. I don't feel like
I'm being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.'
Last week it was revealed how Lily gave out raunchy sex toys to her
celebrity pals at a launch party for her album.
The hitmaker gifted those on the guest list a
sex toy which doubled up as a USB stick to play her new tracks.
The party took place at Spanish restaurant
Decimo, which saw Lily dazzle in a Marc Jacobs minidress as she was joined by
45 diners including friends and family.
