    Elton John: Lily Allen Is Britain's Best Lyricist

    Elton John has described Lily Allen as 'Britain's best lyricist'.

    The singer, who has recently been working with Allen, approved of Allen's songwriting for the forthcoming stage musical of Bridget Jones' Diary.

    "I think this week is the final kind of workshop for the Bridget Jones Diary project before they go into rehearsals," Elton told Music Week.

    He added: "That's an incredibly exciting thing for her, an amazing step for an artist to write a full musical, especially one so young, but I think Lily is Britain's best lyricist and she's taken this mantle on which is not easy when you're young."

    Allen, who recently married fiancé Sam Cooper, will write 12 songs for the Bridget Jones' Diary musical, due out next year.
