Lily Allen's drinking has spiraled out of control, according to friends.

Lily Allen's drinking spirals out of control

The British pop star was seen on several occasions during the Cannes Film
Festival, in France, worse for wear due to the effects of alcohol.
It has now been revealed Lily, 23, was nearly hospitalized following the
after-party for Kirsten Dunst's new movie 'How To Lose Friends And Alienate
People'.
A source from the Hotel Du Cap, where the singer stayed, said: "Her father
Keith had to get the hotel porters to help him carry her back to her room.
They even asked if she needed an ambulance because she was in such a state."
Some of Lily's friends have now urged her to seek help and fear she is using
alcoholism to escape her heartbreak over her miscarriage in January and
subsequent split from the baby's father, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.
Ed is also said to be deeply worried about his former lover.
A friend of the musician told Britain's Look magazine: "Hearing what Lily
got up to in Cannes made Ed worried for her. He adores Lily and feels she
has a lot of demons to sort out. She is not ready to settle down with
anybody, let alone him."
A spokesperson for Lily denied the claims, insisting: "She is back in London
and feeling great. She is about to go back into the studio and work on her
new album."
