Last we heard from Lily Allen, she released her third studio album, Sheezus, in 2014. Since then, however, it's been pretty quiet. All that is about to change this fall.

On June 1, the GRAMMY-nominated British singer/songwriter announced she will embark on a 21-date North American tour in support of her upcoming album, No Shame, which is due out June 8. Allen will crisscross the continent beginning Oct. 5 in Santa Ana, Calif., passing through cities such as Phoenix, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, and Toronto before wrapping up Nob. 8 in Seattle. She'll also make a pit stop in Austin, Texas, to perform during the Austin City Limits music festival.
To whet our appetite, she also released a new single titled "Lost My Mind," a catchy pop-forward tune complete with xylophone arpeggios that explores the feelings many can relate to after a break-up: "Stuck in a rut/Kicking stones, looking at my phone all night/Baby I've lost my mind."
And as if that isn't enough, Allen announced in late 2017 she would be releasing a memoir in fall 2018. Rolling Stone reported that the memoir has yet to be titled, but it promises a candid look at Allen's personal and professional life, which includes struggles with her mental health and addiction.
"Some of it I think might be uncomfortable and shocking and brutal," Allen said. "There will be good stuff in there too; happy times. I will try and make it funny. I know it’s about me but I hope that a lot of it will ring true with anyone who reads it. It won’t be written with shame. It will be true."
If you're ready to embrace life with No Shame along with Allen this fall, those who preorder the album will gain presale access to tour tickets, while general sales open June 8.
