Lily Allen has revealed that she harbored an unfounded grudge against Elton John for several years.
The singer admitted she was angry at the star after he didn't reply to a heartfelt letter she wrote him, until she realized she hadn't actually sent him a letter. .
Elton is Lily's former manager at Rocket Music Entertainment Group, and the two “used to talk every couple of weeks to make sure I was okay and say hello,” Lily said on her podcast Miss Me? He spoke at “There were times when things weren't going well.”
When the two separated professionally, she wrote a “long letter” to her now 77-year-old girlfriend, sharing how “sad” she was about the “hole in her life like Elton”.
When he didn't reply, she admitted, “I made myself very vulnerable with this letter and felt very angry about the fact that I had told him all about my drinking,” and was “very upset.” he added. She had been with him for several years. ”
It wasn't until she moved to New York with her husband, David Harbour, in 2020 that she found the letter and realized he hadn't read it.
“Elton, if you're listening — and maybe you're not — I love you and I don't hold that grudge against you anymore,” she said.
The two stars made the joke public. In 2008, they appeared together on stage at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. When Elton suggested to Lily that maybe she should give up drinking, she replied: I'm 40 years younger than you. I have my whole life ahead of me. He replied, “I might still be scratching your nose under the table.''
