CNN —Florence Welch, the lead singer of Florence and the Machine, has revealed she underwent life-saving emergency surgery, forcing her to cancel live shows.
“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 37-year-old wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday.
“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.”British indie rock group Florence and the Machine has been nominated for seven Grammy awards.
And [I] have been told not to perform to avoid further damage,” Welch said.
