London
(ANI):
Lily
Allen
smoked
a
cigarette
onstage,
even
though
she
was
suffering
from
a
chest
infection.
Disregarding
the
smoking
ban,
the
'Smile" hitmaker
lit
up
at
the
MEN
Arena
in
Manchester.
However,
she
apologized
to
the
crowd
for
off
key
vocals.
"I've
got
a
bout
of
bronchitis
so
sorry
if
my
singing's
a
bit
s**t.
Not
that
it's
any
good
anyway," the
Daily
Star
quoted
her
as
saying.
Allen
had
flouted
the
smoking
ban
in
Liverpool
in
December,
forcing
local
authorities
to
reprimand
her.
She
was
even
fined
last
year
for
smoking
onstage
in
Paris.
Smoking
in
public
places
is
banned
in
both
Britain
and
France
since
2007.
Allen
is
currently
in
a
tour
with
rapper
Dizzee
Rascal.
