“I’m tired and I’ve written about everything that has happened in my life in the past 10 years,” Allen told BBC Radio this morning.
“I feel like I need to live life a little bit more before I start writing again.”
The good news for Allen fans is that it’s only the writing she’s tired of; she’ll carry on performing live in the meantime and she’s next due in London for a series of shows at the Brixton Academy in mid-December.
Better still, The Fear singer isn’t scared of making a comeback to writing new material once she’s had a good spell on the sidelines.
“I’ll be back, but I just reckon that the world could do with a bit of a break from me and I could do with a bit of a break from it,” she said.
Allen went out on a high, bagging the Q single award ahead of the Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal, Kasabian, Muse, and the Noisettes.
