Lily Allen talks evolution as she reflects on touring in 20’s
Lily Allen is preparing to return to the road and this tour seemingly marks a major personal milestone for her.
In a new interview on CBS Mornings, the 40-year-old pop star reflected on gearing up to tour her latest album West End Girl as this would be her first time traveling and performing since she got sober in 2019.
The project itself was reportedly inspired by the end of her marriage to actor David Harbour, but the tour represents something more meaningful than that.
Speaking with Anthony Mason, Allen admitted that performing in her twenties felt like “a big party,” often blurring the line between the stage and the lifestyle.
“I don’t know if that if it sounded much fun to the people that were listening to it,” the Tennis artist laughed.
“It was sure as hell was fun, you know, going out there, but I’m not at that stage in my life.”
Allen explained that when she got sober in 2019, she imagined it would eventually allow her to bring West End Girl “to life,” but she never expected the touring gap to stretch this long.
Now, as she gears up to perform live again, she admitted that the nerves are real.
“I’m nervous,” the singer confessed.
“I don’t think there’s any risk of anything happening, but it’s a real adrenaline rush that you get when you’re on a stage and people responding to your words and when you come off stage that adrenaline is rushing around your body and looking for a place to get out.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have found themselves once again at the center of breakup rumours.
Following reports of eyewitnesses claiming that the former Suits star appeared to be “overwhelmed” and “fighting back tears” during visit to a Montecito bookstore, the speculations have emerged about couple’s marriage.
As reported by Radar Online, the sources claim that Harry and Meghan are facing disagreements over their children’s privacy.
The tensions came after Meghan posted video on Instagram briefly showing Archie and Lilibet, but she deleted the post later.
“One of the many reasons they left the U.K. was because they didn’t want to be chased by paparazzi,” an insider shared.
Adding, “They wanted to lead a very private life. It is hypocritical of her to want a private life, then you’re posting pictures of the kids on social media.”
The source also added, “Harry is upset about it because, obviously, he grew up in the spotlight. He knows what it’s like.”
Moreover, Meghan has also returned to acting, recently filming a cameo for upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends.
The insider shared, “Acting could be her attempt to gain independence in case they pull the trigger on their marriage. It could be her saying, ‘I need to go back to my roots. I need to go back to my own kind of thing.’ It’s her backup plan in case she exits.”
However, the sources also commented on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage, saying that the Duchess of Sussex would “fight hard” for half of the money incase of the split.
“Everything that they’ve earned post-royal life, and I think she would be the first one to say it, is because of her. She’s the one with all the contacts. She’s the one with the Hollywood connections.”
“She may go for half his money, and maybe more, because she would say, ‘Everything we got is because of me,'” the source stated.
Yet, a close friend told the outlet that the royal couple have remained united. “They’ve learned to function within the chaos. Constant drama and chaos, and mayhem seem to be all that is tying them together at the moment,” they added.
A new video featuring Sir David Beckham was released by the King’s Foundation as part of preparations for the Chelsea Flower Show 2026.
“Welcome to the next chapter of my gardening journey , I am so excited to share with you that I am going to be helping to create RHS and the King’s Foundation Curious Garden, for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026,” says Beckham in the video posted on social media accounts of King’s Foundation of which the former footballer is the ambassador.
The video, which also features some experts, was shared with a statement that said, “We’re excited to announce that The RHS and the King’s Foundation are creating a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show (19 May – 23 May 2026) to encourage the nation to get curious about gardening, and explore the vital contribution plants make to the health of people, places and planet.”
The RHS and The King’s Foundation Curious Garden will be designed by horticulturist and TV presenter Frances Tophill, her first garden at RHS Chelsea.
“To encourage millions of other new gardeners to be curious in their own gardening endeavours, King’s Foundation Ambassador Sir Davidbeckham and RHS and King’s Foundation Ambassador Alantitch Marshcbe will be joining Frances on her journey to create the garden.”
“The RHS and The King’s Foundation Curious Garden will be brimming with take-home ideas for people to grow more plants and create beautiful pockets of nature – be it on a windowsill, in a container garden or in a private garden space.”
“After the show, the garden will be repurposed for young adults and designed to bring nature to an urban setting to be announced in 2026. Watch this space.”
