Florence and the Machine have cancelled the remainder of their tour after lead singer Florence Welch broke her foot. The musician injured herself while performing at the O2 arena last night.
The band took to the stage last night as part of their world tour, but has now cancelled the remainder of their 21 scheduled gigs. Welch took to Instagram to announce the news which she shared with a picture of what appeared to be blood on the stage.
In the post, she said: "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.
"Please hang on to your tickets. We are working our hardest to reschedule these dates for next year and we will let you know as soon as possible.
"I’m heartbroken as the Dance Fever tour has been my favourite 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. X x."
The band's performance at the O2 Arena last night was also ruined for some due to a crash on the A2. The road was closed leading many fans to be trapped in their cars while the concert started.
