Lily Allen has threatened to quit music.
In news that will please anyone forced to listen to Radio One all day, the pop princess says that she has “no plans to make another album” when her contract with EMI comes to an end. Both of the singer’s albums so far have gone to Number One.
On a blog post that has now been taken down, Allen added: “I don’t (at this point) stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material (which wont be much).”
A spokesperson confirmed that the blog post was written by Allen, but denied that she will quit music. They said: “She is not quitting pop music.” Which seems pretty emphatic to us.
Allen has found herself in the news lately over her controversial views on the filesharing debate, with many condemning her for her opinion, but with others coming out in defence of her.
It remains to be seen whether Allen’s UK tour at the end of the year will be her swansong as a musician, but it is thought that she wants to go into acting, following her father, Keith.This article was written for TMM.

Quitting releasing albums through a record company doesn't exactly equal 'quitting music' - I imagine we'll see plenty of live shows and freebie mp3 releases designed to keep her profile up.
ReplyDeleteThat said, she does go on about a desire to marry a rich older man & have lots of babies, so eventually you may be proved right ;)
