Lily Allen has committed herself to an infinite run of ‘greatest hits’ tours a little earlier than most, with the announcement that she’s done with making records.

In a blog post that has the likes of MTV trumpeting ‘Lily Allen Quits!’, the 24-year-old singer writes: “Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record (applause). I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade.”

Just last week ITM reported on Allen’s outburst against file sharing, suggesting that high-selling bands like Radiohead could afford to be apathetic to the issue whilst emerging artists suffered and spiralled into debt. Her blog would suggest the argument still stands.

“The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned,” she continue, “so I don’t (at this point) stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material (which wont be much).”

So we can lock her in for Big Day Out 2011 and 2012, right?

While she may not be everyones cup of tea (including mine) if what she is saying is true it is fairly alarming. If a popster like her cant make any money then the scene is not in a great state. only established acts being around is not good. I think more

just shows how sad the music industry is. people like this don't love making music, they just do it for the cash and the fame (using their half-decent voice and image.) if only all the passionate underground producers and musicians who actually LOVE music

The world is a better place. . See Lilly, no one is cheering because a long line of no-talent daddys girls are behind you, waiting in earnest to 'make money' from poeple with no taste. They are pawns of the record industry and they will exist as long as t

This infuriates me. Musicians are not into music for the money - they are driven because to NOT write/ produce music is unthinkable! The money to be made as a performer is by touring - by proving it to your fans that you REALLY are worthy of their worship

it must be frustrating to have the puppet masters chaperone you around the world in a vain attempt to make some cash of abysmal records, only to not make as much as you thought you would.. Perhaps it's because the fans can see straight through the bs she

Great news. She is like a spoilt little kid who can't get her own way. Hopefully this means she won't be using the media all the time to project her crap.
