Lily Allen has opened up about experiencing deep despair and suicidal thoughts upon discovering her husband, David Harbour, was involved in a three-year affair. The singer publicly ended her marriage with the Stranger Things actor in December. During this tumultuous period, she found herself on the verge of relapse.
In a recent interview with British Vogue ahead of her new album release, Lily confessed to seeking rehabilitation due to feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of self-harm. Despite the intense emotional turmoil of her husband’s infidelity, Lily resisted the urge to resort to alcohol and drugs as coping mechanisms, which she had used in the past.
The 40-year-old singer made a courageous choice to enter rehab to avoid falling back on destructive habits in dealing with her heartbreak. She acknowledged her progress in recognizing the need for professional help and time away to navigate her extreme emotions.
Struggling with past issues related to food and exacerbated by her breakup, Lily described her emotional turmoil as excruciating but opted to confront her feelings without relying on substances. She decided to channel her experiences into her upcoming album, drawing inspiration from her marriage to David.
In her songs, Lily candidly addresses the pain of betrayal and heartbreak, revealing the emotional turmoil she endured. While the lyrics reflect her personal experiences, she clarified that the album is not entirely autobiographical but rather inspired by the dynamics of her relationship.
As Lily prepares to re-enter the music scene after a seven-year hiatus, she expressed a mix of confusion, sorrow, and helplessness during the album’s creation. Her raw and honest storytelling through music serves as a cathartic outlet for her emotions.
