Lily Allen may have quit music for good, although I’m having trouble verifying the source of this claim. Digital Spy quotes her as having stated as much on her new It’s Not Alright blog, but (as usual) they haven’t linked to the actual source of the quote.

Allen recently started the new blog to give her opinions, and gather the opinions of other artists, on illegal file-sharing and what should be done, if anything, to combat it. But it appears that buried deep somewhere in a post is her admission that she isn’t carrying on with her music career.

She’s reported to have said:

“Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record (applause). I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade.”

"The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned, so I don’t (at this point) stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material (which wont be much).”

This would correlate with rumors from the last couple of weeks which suggested Allen was turning her hand to acting, with music taking a back seat for a while. But this statement seems very final and would suggest Lily Allen has had enough of the business completely.

In my opinion it would be a crying shame if Lily Allen has quit music for good because she’s a genuinely talented singer and songwriter. Both her studio albums have been great, with the recent It’s Not Me, It’s You being particularly brilliant.
