It comes after Lewis recently marked her 50th birthday in unusual fashion – by marrying her dog earlier this month.
According to Stereogum, Morgan Nagler and Farmer Dave Scher performed at the nuptials, while Lewis sang the Postal Service’s ‘Such Great Heights’ alongside Ben Gibbard and Phantom Planet’s ‘California’ with Alex Greenwald for guests at the wedding party.
Later taking to social media to share pictures of her vintage white dress and birthday cake, Lewis shared news with fans by declaring: “i married my dog for my 50th birthday…BLESS!”.
She went on to repost well wishes from fans, one of whom wished the couple “Muzzle Tov”.
Last year, Rilo Kiley took the ‘Sometimes When You’re On, You’re Really Fucking On Tour’ across the US, marking their first extended run of shows since 2008, although they did play a one-off gig for a livestream benefit in 2021.

The final date in the run came on October 18 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, and saw Waxahatchee – aka Katie Crutchfield – serve as the opening act, having been a self-confessed superfan of the group.
Together, they sang ‘With Arms Outstretched’, a fan favourite track from Rilo Kiley’s second album ‘The Execution Of All Things’, released in 2002.
Penn meanwhile, previously responded to Madonna‘s comments calling him the “love of her life”.
