Lily Allen was forced to pull out of appearing at Spain's Benicassim festival last night because of illness.

Despite the event's extreme weather conditions, the singer revealed that a bout of gastroenteritis caused her performance to be cancelled.

A post on Allen's MySpace blog apologised to fans on her behalf, saying: "She is very sorry to let fans down and hopes to be back to full strength as soon as possible."

Headlining act Kings Of Leon called off their gig at Benicassim the day before.
