“This will be a landmark year for the musician and composer, now 54. In personal terms, it has brought an addition to his family in their new hillside home high above the Balearic island’s capital. And career-wise it will bring not only the release of his frist fully classical album, Music of the Spheres, but the return to his control of his first and most famous recording, 1973’s Tubular Bells. “I can still remember being in the kitchen of the Manor at Shipton-on-Cherwell (then owned by the fledgling entrepreneur Richard Branson), about to sign this two page contract,” he says.  “Some pointed out that it was for 35 years, but I couldn’t get my head around the fact.  I was just 19 and couldn’t conceive of 2008 ever arriving. Now, of course, it’s here.”

Lily Allen Is Thinking Sober

 

Lily Allen said that she is  changing her ways toward the bizzare lifestyle following her miscarriage.

The 22–year-old singer–who tragically lost her baby in January and split from the father, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, shortly after-revealded her recent heartache has changed her opinion on partying.

She said: “When I was pregnant I stopped drinking and I didn’t start again.  Then when the baby was gone, I thought, ‘That doesn’t mean I’m going to go back to how I was.’”

The ‘Smile’ star-who admitted to taking ecstasy when she was just 14–years-old-has decided the best way to avoid temptation is to spend her evenings at home.

She added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: “I’ve been sad and quite lonely recently because if you’re young, living in London and working in this industry, unless you dring and take a lot of drugs, there’s not much to do.

“I’ve been siting on my own watching TV. It’s boring to go out if everyone else is taking cocaine and shouting at me.”

Lily and Ed-who started dating last September-revealed they were expecting their first child together last December, but the relationship unfortunately fell apart under the pressure of their loss.

The pair sparked rumours they had rekindled their romance a few weeks ago, after Lily spent the night at Ed’s London home.
