Lily Allen off Bridget Jones musical
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 31 July 2014
Lily Allen is officially ‘no longer associated’ with the musical adaptation of them Bridget Jones’ Diary’ films and, in fact, books.
In spite of having already written love songs to fridges and other things for the score to the show, which has been a in the making since 2011, Allen has now told The Sun that she is “out of the picture”, with her tracks consigned to the bin by the musical’s makers, adding: “I wrote some great music for it, but [original ‘BJ’ author] Helen Fielding wants to go back and write a whole new story. It’s been a long-term project and I was happy to do my bit”.
So there, she did her bit, and no one can possibly say or do fairer than that. Still, it’s a bit of a blow to the musical, which as far as anyone knows at the moment doesn’t have anyone on board to write its soundtrack. Maybe Rita Ora’s free to do it, I really have no idea. She’s usually available though.
