LILY ALLEN has been accused of crying off a second festival show in as many days.

On Saturday night, the Smile singer was forced to pull out of the huge Benicassim festival in Spain with illness and last night organisers of Les Vieilles Charrues festival in France say she blew them out too.
Allen’s people insist she never agreed to appear at the second event, but “Lily’s French tour manager emailed us and said she was unable to play the gig for personal reasons,” said a Les Vieilles Charrues spokesperson.
Fans hoping to see Allen in Spain were at least forewarned by a message on her Myspace page, which read:
“Lily has been diagnosed as having gastroenteritis by her doctor and has been told she is not fit to fly to Spain. She is very sorry to let fans down and hopes to be back to full strength as soon as possible.”
Benicassim has suffered its fair share of troubles, with high winds and nearby fire threatening the whole event.
Kings of Leon had to cancel their show due to the conditions and Paul Weller had his set cut short.
“I was f******* scared,” Weller told The Sun.
“I came on stage to big black clouds and could see the huge inferno to the left. It was spreading so quickly!
“About 50 minutes in the organiser came and forced me off stage as the huge inferno was spreading so quickly and the winds were swirling!”
Allen’s illness is not expected to last long, or at least long enough for fans to worry about her London shows later this year.
