Lily Allen forgot the lyrics to one of her songs during a show - then got them printed off the internet.

According to a fan at an all-star show at the Union Chapel in Islington, London, the singer was stumped as she launched into her second song.

"She performed her first number without any problems, but when it came to the second track 'Everything's Just Wonderful', she just got 'stuck'," he told the Daily Mail. "She just said something like, 'Sorry, I can't remember it. I'll have another go later'.

"She seemed mildly embarrassed but quite jovial. Then she sent someone off for the lyrics and launched into a different song. About five minutes later the assistant came back and handed her a couple of sheets of paper with the lyrics on."

He added: "She sang 'Everything's Just Wonderful' from the lyric sheets."

She was being watched by Coldplay's Chris Martin, James Morrison and members of The Automatic, who were also performing at the show, and her father comedian Keith Allen.
