Lily Allen recalls Elton John’s past ‘grudge’ over undelivered letter

According to the singer, she once wrote John a long letter after they stopped working together. In the letter, she claims that she was very “vulnerable”, but John never responded.

However, after moving to the US, Lily Allen eventually realized that she never sent the letter to the “I’m Still Standing” hitmaker.

Allen recently shared a nostalgic moment on Instagram, posting a video with her best friend and podcast co-host Nikita Oliver.

Remembering his time under Elton John on “Miss Me?” podcast, Allen revealed, “I used to be managed by Elton John. He called me every couple of weeks to check in, say hi, and make sure I was okay. And there were times when I wasn’t okay.”

The 39-year-old shared that their professional relationship eventually ended, adding: “We broke up and I wrote this long letter to say how sad I was about the situation and there was a big hole in my life shaped like Elton. “

As her personal struggles escalated, the ‘Smile’ singer admitted: ‘Over the next few years, as my life began to spiral out of control, I resented myself for making myself so vulnerable in that letter and told him all about my sobriety. , and I was very angry with him for several years.”

Oliver asked if the offense was related to the “Rocketman” singer not responding, to which Allen laughed and admitted: “I thought it was on his part, and then when I moved here to America, I was unpacking the package and found letter. I never sent it (laughs).”

Ending on a light note, Allen added: “Elton, if you’re listening, which you probably aren’t, I love you and I don’t hold that grudge against you anymore.”

In 2008, Allen and John had a violent fight on stage during the GQ Man of the Year Awards at London’s Royal Opera House. As the evening’s co-hosts, the duo’s playful banter quickly turned into a heated exchange, surprising the celebrity audience.

Dressed in a gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana ball gown with sparkling Chopard jewelry, Allen openly sipped champagne throughout the event.

According to Daily MailAllen began slurring, cursing, and improvising her lines as the night progressed.

While introducing Carol Vorderman, Allen peppered her speech with expletives, letting out “F-ck” several times, prompting John to interrupt her.

When Allen announced, “And now for the most important part of the night,” John quipped, “What? You going to have another drink?” Not missing a beat, she brushed it off, “Right, Alton. I’m 40 years younger than you, and I have my whole life ahead of me!”

John, clearly irritated, replied, “I could still snort you under the table.” Allen, not embarrassed, answered with a simple word: “Good. I don’t understand what you are talking about.’

Allen previously opened up about her struggles with mental health and disordered eating on her podcast, revealing that she had been in therapy to process her emotions after moving to New York with her daughters, Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, along with to husband, David Harbour.

Performing on Miss Me? Allen has admitted that her mental health issues have affected her appetite. She admitted that she did not eat well and was rarely hungry.

“I’ve been going through a tough time for the last few months and my diet has become a problem,” she said. “The therapist and I are talking about it, and she’s like, ‘How long is this going to last?’ And I said, “Well, about three years, really.” And she says, “Okay, why didn’t you mention this before?”

Allen described feeling mentally disconnected from her body, explaining, “I’m not hungry. Obviously I’m hungry, but my body and brain are so disconnected from each other that my body… the messages about hunger don’t go through my body to my brain.’

“I don’t avoid food, I just don’t think about it because I’m so in my head,” the singer continued, according to Daily Mail. “My body is a few steps behind me.”

Earlier this year, Allen spoke about her decision to move her two daughters to the United States

She reflected on the differences between British and American attitudes, especially during awards season. She noted how expressive Americans are compared to the “stiff” British.

“One of the reasons I moved here is because I feel like it’s a much more encouraging environment for my kids to thrive in,” Allen explained.

She remembered that for the first time she was engaged in acting, despite the fact that she had no experience in the theater.

“When I told the Americans about it, they said, ‘Oh my God, this is so interesting!’ You will learn so much, you will kill!” – shared the singer.

She added: “And then when I told the English people about it, they said, ‘A play? Have you ever done this before? Aren’t you afraid?” Allen emphasized the contrast, adding: “Culturally, we’re just very different.”

Allen made a big lifestyle change in 2011 after being known as a famous pop girl when she moved to the countryside and started a family.

Reflecting on her career, she admitted in March that becoming a mother had a big impact on her pop career as she decided to focus on her children rather than work.

Speaking on the Radio Times Podcast, the singer-turned-actress shared her belief that women are often faced with a choice between career or children, and for her the decision was clear.

“My children ruined my career. I love them and they complement me, but from a pop star point of view they completely ruined her,” Allen admitted. “I get really annoyed when people say you can have it all, because frankly, you can’t.”
