Lily Allen has paused and taken a moment to reflect on the success of her tour, West End Girl. The talented singer chatted in a recent interview with The Times<\/a> about how the album and its accompanying tour have truly had such a significant impact on her life.<\/p>\n

The star said: “The album and tour having been a success has given me a sense of agency and accomplishment. I feel like I’m here: a single mum supporting two teenagers on my own. I don’t need to be taken care of any more. There’s definitely a sense of liberation in that.”<\/p>\n

Lily also more broadly shared that she considers herself to be “just happy” and “in a good place” lately after wrapping up a series of shows on her North American leg of the West End Girl Tour. She noted how she’s been “living in the day” and “not planning too much” ahead of the Oceania shows this week \u2013 the final performances yet to go.<\/p>\n

Lily’s album “West End Girl” came out a year ago and peaked at the number 2 spot in the UK charts. The album achieved success in the US too, climbing to spot number 93 in the US Billboard 200. This was a memorable moment for Lily, marking her first album to reach these heights since her 2014 release, “Sheezus”.<\/p>\n

The singer furthered her milestones by performing some of her new album tracks on Saturday Night Live, where she last performed all the way back in 2007.<\/p>\n

The songs on “West End Girl” centered around Lily’s split from her ex-husband David Harbour. The pair called time on their romance in early 2025 with reasons for the split being cited as a breakdown of their open marriage, allegations of infidelity both physically and emotionally, busy work schedules, and long periods of living separate lives.<\/p>\n
