Lily Allen has claimed she's an alcoholic and is heading for an early death.

The U.K. pop starlet had endured a difficult few months in the public eye, pulling a string of live shows in America and feuding with Cheryl Tweedy from Girls Aloud.

However, she has now insisted that her new lifestyle of constant touring has prompted an unhealthy love of booze.

Lily says she needs to get back into the studio to work on the follow-up to acclaimed debut Alright, Still, so she can get straightened out.

She explained: "I'm an alcoholic now. It's not good and that's why I want to get back into the studio. I've actually pulled myself aside and said it will kill me if I keep it up. I've got to stop abusing myself because as far as I'm concerned every loon hates me now."

Achoholism Claim Removed Reports of Lily's alcoholism surged throughout the world's media in the past 24 hours, causing the singer to remove her blog, in which she admitted to enjoying the demon drink a little too much. She wrote in her blog, "I'm an alcoholic now. It's not good and that's why I want to get back into the studio. "I've actually pulled myself aside and said it will kill me if I keep it up. I've got to stop abusing myself because as far as I'm concerned every loon hates me now." The quote is suddenly missing from the singer's page, who over the past month has made some strange and bizarre statements showing the pressures of the road creeping through, including complaining about being fat and not as good as [Amy] "Winehouse". Her father, actor Keith Allen, has defended his daughter, telling people life on the road isn't as glamorous as it looks, it's actually "monumentally-dull and spirit breaking." Why did she remove the blog post?
