It's one of the most highly-anticipated music events of the year.


But Wireless Festival 2010 came to an end tonight with stunning performances from Lily Allen and Jay-Z.

And while Lily, who looked stunning in a white flowing jumpsuit and huge gold earrings, wowed the crowds with her performance, she warned fans that they may not be seeing her for some time.

Lily, who recently revealed she is planning to take a five-year break from the showbiz world to concentrate on 'higher priorities' such as having children, told the enthusiastic crowds: 'I appreciate that you were jumping up and down because this is probably my last gig in London for some time.'

The 25-year-old singer also sparked rumours she could already be trying for a baby with 31-year-old businessman boyfriend Sam Cooper after she was spotted drinking water instead of alcohol, and refraining from smoking, during her set.

Lily also took the time to dedicate her single Who'd Have Known to Sam, who was watching her from the audience.

After telling the crowd she loved Sam, many started booing, to which Lily replied: 'Don't boo him u meanies... This one's for u baby!'

As well as performing some of her most famous hits including LDN, Lily also welcomed Professor Green onto the stage for Smile and their duet, Just Be Good To Green.

But she wasn't too impressed when some members in the crowd got a bit too rowdy and started throwing bottles, telling them there were girls at the front crying because they had been hit with the plastic bottles.

After Lily's set, the crowd started to get prepared for Jay-Z's headlining act.

As well as the thousands of fans who had gathered in Hyde Park for the main event, celebrities backstage were also getting excited.

Stars including Sarah Harding, Rupert Grint, Lisa Snowdon, Pixie Geldof, Sadie Frost and former Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan, who admitted she 'couldn't wait' to see the Empire State of Mind singer on stage, enjoyed food and drinks in the Barclaycard Unwind VIP area before heading out to watch the musical acts.

And then it was time for Jay-Z to take to the main stage, watched by wife Beyoncé Knowles.

The 40-year-old rapper, who last headlined Wireless in 2008, instantly got the crowd dancing and singing as he kicked off his set with Run This Town.

Other acts to perform at the third day of the festival included Chipmunk and Guns n'Roses guitarist Slash.

Meanwhile, the second day of the music event saw Missy Elliott being kicked off the stage for exceeding her set time limit.

The five-time Grammy award winner was in the middle of Lose Control when the music got turned off, and she was forced to leave the stage amidst a stream of boos despite announcing that she was the 'flyest s**t in the house'.

Missy was 20 minutes late for her set and tried to make up for it by staying on for extra time, after performing hits like Work It and Pass That Dutch.
