Florence + The Machine recently had to postpone the remainder of their UK tour after Florence Welch broke her foot during a London show on Friday night. Welch wrote in an Instagram post that, “I’m so sorry to say that after an X ray it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night, It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I’m in pain and as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea. And have been told not to perform to avoid further damage.”
Welch also added, “I’m heartbroken as the ‘Dance Fever’ tour has been my favorite show we have ever put on. The communion with you. Your beautiful faces shining, I love you so much, and I’m so sorry to anyone who is disappointed. My heart is aching. I can’t wait to be back on my feet and back in your arms.”
Florence + The Machine’s UK tour was scheduled to run through the end of November and Welch has advised fans to hold onto their tickets as the band is “working our hardest to reschedule these dates for next year.”
