The turn could have been dramatic. Last Wednesday, French fans of Florence and the Machine learned with sadness of the cancellation of the London group’s concert at Rock en Seine for “health reasons”. He was then replaced at short notice by the stars of Hip-Hop of the nineties, Cypress Hill.
On Sunday, the singer of the group, Florence Welch, came out of silence by posting a press release on her Instagram account explaining the reasons for her withdrawal. After apologizing for having had to cancel her performance, the 30-year-old explained that she had been hospitalized in serious condition. “I had to have emergency surgery for reasons that I cannot disclose at the moment, as I do not feel strong enough. But it saved my life,” she wrote in her post.
The interpreter of Dog Days Are Over also made it clear that this hospitalization had nothing to do with the broken foot she suffered during a concert at the end of November. The group then had to cancel the continuation of its Dance Fever Tour, organized for the release of its fifth self-titled album in May 2022.
Far from being the type to take it easy, Florence Welch also announced that she would be back on stage on September 1 and 2. “I’ll be back to close the Dance Fever Tour in Lisbon and Malaga,” said the energetic rock star. “I may not jump much, but you can do it for me!” she added.
