Lily Allen has revealed that she held a grudge against Elton John for years because he didn’t reply to her letter – until realising that she hadn’t actually sent it.During the most recent episode of her Miss Me?

podcast with Miquita Oliver (released on May 6), Allen recalled once being “managed by a management company that was owned by Elton John” and his husband David Furnish.The singer and actor was on the Rocket Music Entertainment Group roster when she was making and promoting her second studio album, 2009’s ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’.“I loved being managed by them,” Allen explained. “And every year Elton would put on a Christmas party, and I’d always sit next to him and he’d make me feel really special.”She continued: “He would call me, like, once every couple of weeks to check in and say hi and make sure that I was OK.

And there were some times in that period where I wasn’t OK.”Allen went on to remember how Sir Elton would send her to his house in the south of France “to go and relax and dry out a little bit” during the periods she “wasn’t living healthily”.The ‘LDN’ artist then looked back on how she “parted ways” with the legendary singer-songwriter “just after” her third album, ‘Sheezus’, was released in 2014.“I was very sad about it,” Allen revealed. “And I wrote this long letter to Elton to say how sad I was about the situation, and that I was particularly sad because he didn’t call me anymore, and I didn’t get my bi-monthly phone call from Elton checking in.
