Lily Allen is planning a big entrance for her BRIT Awards performance, by arriving on stage by plane.

A source told the Mirror: “Everyone had to submit their set designs this week so the organizers could see how the show was going to work. She wants it to involve flying.

“At the moment the idea is to arrive on the BRITs stage in a plane. It’s all still work in progress at the moment but they are doing everything they can to make it work.”

“It will cost a fortune, but it looks like it will be her last music awards show for a long time because she is planning to retire for a few years after this so it’ll be worth it.”
