London, September 25 : Lily Allen has decided to step back from the ongoing debate over illegal downloads following angry response from her fans.

The singer has decided to close down her blog, which aimed at stopping illicit file sharing, as followers have been hurling abuses at the singer.

She will also not attend a summit meeting to discuss the issue, the Daily Express reports.

Allen Tweeted a post: "There is a meeting today in London where artists are meeting to discuss Piracy. My job done. I won''t be attending the meeting because it''s going to be a press frenzy and I don''t want to detract from the issues.

"I''m proud of the fact that that I''ve been involved with this debate but I''m passing the baton on to other artists. And I''ve shut down the blog, the abuse was getting too much."

Allen had earlier called for a government crackdown in U. K on illicit file sharing. (ANI)
