Lily Allen: 'I really am quitting music'

Lily Allen has again said that she will walk away from the music industry.

The singer previously suggested that she would take a long break from recording and performing, but her spokesman later claimed that she was "not quitting pop music".

However, speaking to Metro after last night's Brit Awards, Allen said: "This hasn't changed my plans to quit.

"It's actually been really good as something to work towards for the last six months, knowing I'd be doing this."

She added: "It is the perfect way to say goodbye. I have so much I want to do now with my shop and record label."

Allen opened the 30th anniversary Brit Awards ceremony with a live rendition of her single 'The Fear' and later picked up the prize for 'British Female Solo Artist'.
