Sick Lily Cancels Shows

13 August 2007

Lily Allen has had to cancel more shows - this time from her European tour dates - because she has fallen ill.

When Allen has cancelled shows in the past claiming that she was sick or tired, the media have not been kind to her. So this time, she was prepared. Lily posted a photo of her medical certificate in her MySpace blog on Friday to prove that she is actually sick!

With the photo Lily wrote a message apologising to fans. "I've got sinusitis and strep throat," she says, "and have been advised to take a couple of weeks off by a doctor in LA and a doctor here (in the UK). Before anyone starts trying to accuse me of neglecting my fans I want to apologise and say how sorry I am, bit I can't risk causing any permanent damage. I hope people can understand and aren't too angry."

Lily hopes to be better by this weekend's V Festival, where she is booked to perform.
