Lily Allen has expressed her desire to return to music again after she performed a live duet with P!nk.

The singer, who has now changed her stage name to Lily Rose Cooper, took an extended break from music in 2009 to pursue other avenues, such as fashion and motherhood, but she recently made a surprise appearance with Professor Green as the rapper supported the Stone Roses at Heaton Park.

It has since emerged that Cooper is working on new music material and that she also recorded vocals for one of P!nk's new album tracks.

The flamboyant singer performed a special set on Monday night (August 20) for VH1's Storytellers, taking Cooper up on stage to play their duet 'True Love'.

The Sun quotes Cooper as saying she can't wait to return to singing once more after she caught the live music bug with P!nk. She said:

"It was great, felt strange being back on stage again but P!nk made me feel at ease. Really enjoyed myself though. Can't wait to get back out there."
