Your support makes all the difference.Florence Welch worried fans at a gig this week after taking a dramatic tumble on stage at a gig down under.
The British singer was performing as Florence + The Machine in Melbourne, Australia, when she fell to the ground during “What Kind of Man”.
Bassist Mark Saunders helped her up and luckily, she proceeded to continue running, jumping and skipping her way through the high energy show.
Welch was forced to cancel dates earlier this year after breaking her foot at California’s Coachella festival in April. She recovered in time to replace the Foo Fighters as Glastonbury headliner (after Dave Grohl broke his leg, there’s a trend running here) but could easily have aggravated the injury with her latest accident.
Florence is yet to make any reference to the fall on social media, but can at least take comfort in the fact that Madonna’s backwards-down-the-stairs, cape-induced disaster at the Brits was much, much worse.
Not that she’s likely to care anyway.
