What happened
Lily Allen continued the success of her West End Girl show with a performance at the Oyafestivalen in Toyenparken, Oslo, on Saturday night. The 41-year-old singer took to the stage in a satin bustier and suspenders, having started the performance in a gold minidress before changing into the racy lingerie. The show, which features no crowd interaction or encores, is based on her album West End Girl, released last year, which detailed her tumultuous split from husband David Harbour and allegations of his infidelity. During the performance, Allen used props such as a chaise longue and a bed, and appeared in her element as she retold her story. The performance comes ahead of the North American leg of her tour, which is set to begin next month. Additionally, Allen is set to star in a new Prime Video documentary charting her rise to fame, from her early days as the "Queen of MySpace" to her current status as a cultural force. The documentary, directed by award-winning filmmaker Mat Whitecross, known for Oasis: Supersonic and Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams, is scheduled for release in 2027. Earlier this year, Allen opened up about the toll her recent experiences have taken on her daughters, Ethel and Marnie, who are struggling to readjust after the family's relocation from New York back to the UK. In a candid interview on her podcast Miss Me?, she discussed finishing an album, getting a boob job, having a nervous breakdown, being hospitalized, and performing in the role of Hedda Gabler, which she described as one of the hardest roles in theatre. She also mentioned that her children are "f***ing mental at the moment" and that there is a lot of change in their lives.
