SINGER Lily Allen will headline the Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens this year.

The headline show will cap a comeback year for the singer and be the final show of her 2014 world tour.

After a self-imposed "retirement" from the music industry, 2014 has seen a triumphant return to the top for Allen, producing her second Number One album, Sheezus, and a summer of headline appearances at the UK's biggest music festivals. Speaking about the Hogmanay gig, the singer said: "I can't wait."
