Smile singer Lily Allen has decided to step away from the spotlight by taking a two-year break from her music career to settle down with boyfriend Sam Cooper.
The 24-year-old star, who is a self-confessed technology addict, says she is attempting to get her life back after recording her every waking moment on the internet since she shot to fame two-years back.
Allen is planning to move in with her boyfriend of seven months, building contractor Sam Cooper.
"It's not about being famous, it's not about all the parties, it's not about wanting to be the biggest pop star on the planet. It's about being happy," Allen said in an interview to Grazia magazine.
"For me, that is Sam, spending time at home, sorting out bed linen...being normal," Allen added.
The singer, known for her quirky remarks and outrageous dressing sense, has vowed to take a two-year break from music after releasing her second album It's Not Me, It's You.
"I just had this revelation that Facebook, blogging, all those things were becoming a total addiction. I'd be with my boyfriend or my mum and they'd have just got half of me. So I put my BlackBerry, my laptop, my iPod in a box and that's the end," the star said.
