Lily Allen Is Back – And Changes Her Name
Lily Allen has announced that she is changing her professional name to Lily Rose Cooper.
The 27-year-old – who first rose to fame through MySpace in 2005 – married property developer Sam Cooper in June last year.
The Smile singer – who is mother to 20-month-old daughter Ethel and is currently expecting her second child – had previously said she was retiring from the business.
She claimed she had no plans to make another album following the release of her second, It’s Not Me, It’s You, in 2009.
But she revealed on Twitter in June that she had returned to the recording studio to work on new tracks.
She has now booked further studio time to develop these songs and come up with more new material.
No release date has been set but anything she publishes in future will appear under her married name of Lily Rose Cooper.
She said: “It’s great to work at my own pace, with no commitments other than to make music.
“I’m excited to be heading back into the studio.”
