Florence Welch<\/b> has revealed that she underwent emergency life-saving surgery, and it forced Florence + The Machine<\/b> to cancel two concerts in Europe.<\/p>\n
Welch begins a statement posted on Instagram<\/i> by saying sorry for canceling the last couple of shows.<\/p>\n
“I had to have emergency surgery for reasons I don’t really feel strong enough to go into yet, but it saved my life,” the Florence + The Machine lead vocalist wrote. <\/p>\n
“I will be back to close out the Dance Fever tour in Lisbon and Malaga (maybe not jumping so much but you can do that for me),” she added, referring to the remaining two shows of a tour in support of the indie rock band’s latest album Dance Fever<\/i>, scheduled for September 1 and September 2.<\/p>\n
“Suffice to say I wish the songs were less accurate in their predictions,” she said. “But creativity is a way of coping, mythology is [a] way of making sense. And the dark fairytale of Dance Fever, with all its strange prophecies, will provide me with much-needed strength and catharsis right now.”<\/p>\n
Welch had suffered a foot injury in November 2022, and revealed that she “was dancing on a broken foot” during a concert.<\/p>\n
