How Not to Have a Successful Career

Drunk and 'Tired' Lily Allen cancels U.S. shows

British pop sensation Lily Allen has cancelled most of her spring U.S. tour saying she has been "getting really drunk" and is "tired."

Allen posted the news on her MySpace page, and said she thinks her live shows have suffered. She said she increased her drinking recently because she was "so nervous about doing bad shows."

On her April 16 post, Allen first jokes that: "I thought that being a popstar meant going out getting trashed with famous people and sleeping in all day. The fact that this is not true has come as a huge disappointment to me."
