The good ship Lily Allen: Singer enjoys a big day off aboard a luxury yacht
on 25th January 2010
It's a hard life but somebody's got to live it.
And singer Lily Allen, 24, is certainly living the dream as she enjoyed some downtime in between appearances at Australia's Big Day Out festival - better known by the artists as 'The Big Day Off' due to the time off between shows.
Stripped down to a blue bikini with a white trim, the singer enjoyed a day on board a yacht with friends including Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

Feeling hot: Lily soaked up the 31C heat in between performances at Australia's Big Day Out festival where she is performing alongside Dizzee Rascal
Lily, 24, was seen soaking up the sun in 31C heat after singing at the music festival in Sydney.
On Sunday she performed alongside Dizzee Rascal at the festival who almost came a cropper after one over-appreciative member of the public threw a deodorant stick at him.

But now she's past the wildchild phase and is enjoying a more relaxed time with friends with her fellow artists, Dizzee, Muse and Kasabian.
She told Australia's news.com: 'It's funny, actually, because I feel I am a completely different person to who I was when they all first met me.
'Then, the Big Day Out was one of the first festivals I'd done. I was so over-excited and boisterous and drunk and showing off. I didn't really know what the hell was going on.

'And Kasabian were quite fresh at the time too so we were the terrible kids running around making mischief. I'm a little more grown-up.'
And she seemed to be backtracking on her public statement to quit music.
Lily said: 'Anyone who has to go to work every day gets quite sick of it, don't they? It's a job and probably what's happened, because I started so young, I was working with people who knew I was naive and worked me very hard.
