LONDON - British singer Lily Allen has been advised to take good care of herself on tour because she suffers from arthritis.

The 24-year-old singer admits a mild form of the condition, which affects her hands and knees, often leaves her in agony, reported contactmusic.com.

Allen suffered a nasty fall while she was on tour in August and needed painkiller injections in order to carry on with the concerts.

“I’ve got mild arthritis in my hands and my knees. It runs in my family. My bones break very easily, said Allen.
