Lily Allen Once Had Bad Blood With Mentor Elton John – But It Was Nothing More Than a Miscommunication

When you’re trying to reach a celebrity as big as Elton John, it might be harder to do than you would think. That is, however, if everything even goes according to plan.

In a recent podcast appearance from Lily Allen, the “Smile” singer remembered a time when she tried to reach out to John, but he never responded. “I used to be managed by Elton John. He would call me like once every couple of weeks to check in and say hi and make sure I was okay,” she remembered in a clip from her Miss Me? podcast. “And there were some times in that period where I wasn’t okay.”

“We parted ways and I wrote this long letter to say how sad I was about the situation and there was a big Elton-shaped hole in my life,” she remembered. Years later, sadly, the “Rocketman” singer hadn’t responded.

“Over the next few years as my life began to sort of spiral out of control I held much resentment for the fact that I’d made myself very vulnerable in this letter and told him all about my sobriety and I was quite cross with him for a few years,” she admitted. “I thought it was mean of him actually.”

A while later, Allen moved to the U.S. and –you guessed it– found the letter. “I never sent it,” she laughed.

As a result, all the bad blood she had for John evaporated in a matter of seconds. “Elton if you’re listening, which you’re probably not, I love you and I no longer harbor that resentment towards you,” she said.

In the comment section, her followers are laughing with her. “This was hilarious. I hope he heard about it, lol. I’m sure he’ll be laughing too ????,” wrote one fan. “Such a great story ???? Poor Elton had no idea,” wrote another.

Previously, Allen got candid on her podcast about her struggles with eating and mental health.

“I’m really not in a great place mentally at the moment, and I’m not eating,” she admitted, per Daily Mail. “I’m not hungry. I obviously am hungry, but my body and brain are so disconnected from each other that my body… the messages of hunger are not going through my body to my brain.”

“I’m not avoiding food, I’m just not thinking about it because I’m so in my head,” she said. “My body’s, like, a few steps behind me.”

Her candid confession comes at a telling time for the singer as rumors that she’s split from her husband of four years David Harbour have reached an all-time high. Neither Allen nor Harbour have confirmed the rumors.
