Lily Allen is still on a high following her performance with Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury over the weekend, but admitted that she hadn’t been sure if she would be able to pull it off sober.

The Smile singer, 37, joined 19-year-old Rodrigo on stage during her set on Saturday at the iconic festival and said her daughters Ethel, 10, and Marnie, nine, were “very proud” to see their mum in action.

Uploading a clip from the performance, she captioned it: “Quite emosh.Things are truly messed up, but at least my babies got to see their mamma play and slay Glastonbury with their favourite pop star.

“They were very proud and so was I. I didn’t know whether I’d be able to get up on a stage like that sober again if I’m honest, a part of me thought it was all in the past,” she continued.

“I had the most amazing day. Thanks @oliviarodrigo for having us. You smashed your first Glastonbury. Who knows, maybe I won’t hang up my microphone just yet.”

Allen was invited to perform a rendition of her track F*** You which Rodrigo in protest of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade, and allow individual US states to ban access to abortions.

Before introducing Allen on stage, Rodrigo said: “I’m devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s*** about freedom. The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you.”

Allen shared her sentiments as she held up her middle finger before launching into the song.

She has been open about her past alcohol and drug addictions which she detailed in her 2018 memoir, My Thoughts Exactly.

Last July, she marked two years of sobriety in an emotional post on Instagram saying that quitting alcohol and drugs had been the best decision she had ever made.

Sharing a photo of herself in a little black dress, she wrote: “2 years drug and alcohol free today! Getting clean is the BEST thing I ever did, and I’ve done a lot of cool s**t.”
