Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lily Allen is celebrating two years since she went sober, calling it the “best thing” she has ever done.
Allen has previously been open about her battles with addiction but has now been sober since 2019.
To mark the occasion, she posted a photo on Twitter accompanied by the caption: “Two Years Drug and Alcohol free today! Getting clean is the BEST thing I ever did, and I’ve done a lot of cool s***. Come see me in the play I’ve been working on.”
The play Allen references is 2:22 A Ghost Story, which premieres in the West End next month. Former EastEnders actor Jake Wood will be performing alongside her.
Talking about her forthcoming West End debut, Allen said: “I am so excited about getting to work on this play!”
“The live performance aspect of my career has always been the most thrilling part for me, connecting with a group of individuals and the spontaneity of whatever happens on the night,” she added.
Earlier this week, Allen responded to criticism of her appearance after she was called “too thin” following an appearance on The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan.
