Lily Allen recalls mistakenly being 'cross' with Elton John for years

Lily Allen is looking back at her fallout with music legend Elton John, and she regrets one big mistake.

Elton was manager and mentor to Lily and the duo became good friends, until they fell out and parted ways after a public spat at the in 2008 GQ Men of the Year Awards.

Afterward, the Not Fair singer wrote a lengthy letter to the Rocket Man hitmaker and expressed her sadness over their situation. However, she then resented him for years for not responding to the letter.

“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 said during an appearance on the 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 continued.

“And 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 recalled.

“For not responding?” host Miquita asked, to which Lily explained: “And I thought it was mean of him actually, and then when I moved here to America I was unpacking and I found the letter.

“I never sent it [laughs],” Lily Allen admitted. “Elton if you're listening, which you're probably not, I love you and I no longer harbour that resentment towards you.”
