Lily Allen Calls David Harbour's Reaction to Her Break-Up Album "Generous"

Lily Allen’s fifth album“West End Girl”arrived last October, written and recorded in just 10 days after her marriage to David Harbour collapsed. Reports of the separation surfaced early last year amid cheating rumours, and Allen later entered a treatment centre to work through the emotional turmoil. So yeah, this album isn’t just music. It’s a survival document.

Then Harbour got asked about it, and his answer caught everyone off guard. He said he respects every artist’s privilege to use their experience to create art, while noting the story is complex and“it wasn’t my experience.”Allen responded by calling his words generous and praising him as an excellent actor, right in the middle of his Emmy nomination moment for“Stranger Things.”

Allen has also been upfront about the tour side of things. She downsized several North American dates to smaller venues because ticket sales weren’t there, even after a major Madison Square Garden show this month. It’s a rare celebrity split where both sides kept their dignity. Is this the most civil celebrity breakup you’ve ever seen, or is there a limit to how much should end up in the music?
