Splendour Drawcard Florence Welch Breaks Foot At Coachella

Freshly named Splendour In The Grass heavyweights Florence + The Machine preceded their announcement aboard the festival this morning with some unfortunate news - that frontwoman Florence Welch has broken her foot following a stage leap at the Coachella festival in the United States.

As a result of her injury, which Welch publicised via the band's social media this morning (AEST), she announced that she'd be forced to strip back her live performances until she recovers.

"I'm so sorry, I'm pretty devastated, but I still want to do the shows," Welch wrote in her social media message.

"I understand this is not what you were expecting, but I hope its just as enjoyable. I'm going to try and make it super special for you."

Aussie fans excited to see Florence + The Machine at this year's Splendour - the event unveiled its full line-up this morning - shouldn't start panicking just yet, however, as the singer projected that she will be "back on her feet", quite literally, in time for her band's appearance at this year's Glastonbury Festival, which is held in June - the month before the band are due to travel to Australia to play at Splendour In The Grass.

It's not a guarantee, but we'll take it.

Welch's full post can be read below. The band are currently in the throes of promotion for forthcoming third full-length How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, with the clip for recent single Ship To Wreck being released earlier this week.
