Lily Allen has been left ‘truly devastated’ by bad news from home, while she’s on tour in the States.
The musician pleaded for respite from Twitter trolls on Wednesday night as she pulled out of her Chicago and Minneapolis shows with an inflamed throat and ‘angry’ vocal chords.
Refusing to share more information, the mum-of-two said she’d been ‘shaken’ by an update from home while she tweeted from her sick bed.
‘I am really quite sick,’ she wrote. ‘And I’ve just had some truly devastating news. Can you trolls just allow me for today? Thanks I’m advance (sic).’
Asked if she was ok, the singer replied: ‘Not really. I can’t speak and I’m very shaken up by news from back home.’
A representative for Lily Allen has been contacted by Metro.co.uk for comment.
This week, Lily was forced to cut her Chicago set short because her voice was ‘f**ked’.
She then confirmed that this week’s remaining No Shame dates would be postponed, saying she had ‘no choice’ but to pull out.
Lily explained: ‘My throat and vocal chords are so inflamed and angry. Working on rescheduling and will have more info for you as soon as I get it. I am so sorry,I was so looking forward to seeing y’all.’
In two videos from her sick bed, Lily said she was ‘very sad’ to cancel the gigs, which were due to take place at the Vic Theater and Varsity Theaters.
She added: ‘I’m just really really sorry, but this is unavoidable, I’ve been battling it for two weeks.’
Lily recently told Metro.co.uk that it was the first time she’d felt ‘100% confident’ about leaving her family at home to go off on tour.
‘I’m super sad to be leaving my kids,’ she explained. ‘They just came here and we said goodbye.’
But the musician added: ‘It’s the first time I’ve headed off on the road being 100% comfortable with what I’m going to be doing onstage.
‘My kids are happy and stable and everything is good – I don’t have much to worry about really.’
In the same breath, she chastised ex-husband Sam Cooper for banning her from taking daughters Ethel, six, and Marnie, five, away with her.
She told Cosmopolitan: ‘I had always assumed I’d chuck my kid over my shoulder and take them around the world. But Sam didn’t want that. He didn’t think it was a stable environment for them.’
