Florence Welch discusses her life-saving surgery, new music, and Taylor Swift with The Guardian [Gallery]
In a new article published by the Guardian’s Saturday Magazine, Florence Welch has revealed more details about what led to the cancellation of some of her final Dance Fever Tour dates.
In the vulnerable and exposing interview, Florence Welch tells Rebecca Nicholson about the moments during which she experienced a miscarriage, and later realised this was in fact an ectopic pregnancy which has ruptured. The rupture occurred moments prior to her appearance at Boardmasters Festival (Cornwall) in 2023, but Florence - determined that she was fine - continued to perform. It wasn’t until her doctor strongly recommended getting a scan that she decided she do so. She subsequently underwent surgery which involved the removal of one of her fallopian tubes.
Florence Welch also revealed two new songs from her new album ‘Everybody Scream’, much of which centres around her brush with mortality (Music By Men and Sympathy Magic). She also discusses how Taylor Swift inspired her to take her career to further heights.

‘Everybody Scream’: the new album and single from Florence + the Machine
Today (19th August 2025), Florence + the Machine announced the release date, name, and first single for their 6th studio album. Titled ‘Everybody Scream’, the LP is set to have 12 songs with 4 bonus tracks featuring chamber versions of four of the songs, only available on exclusive CD or vinyl copies via the Florence + the Machine store.
The first single, of the same name, will be released on Wednesday 20th August 2025. The music video is directed by Autumn De Wilde (who also directed all of the ‘Dance Fever’ music videos as well as the album cover shoot).
Speaking of the album, Florence stated how the life-saving surgery she underwent during the "Dance Fever Tour," led to a period of reflection on the meaning of ‘healing’, relationships, femininity, and the limits of the human body. The first single, ‘Everybody Scream’, mirrors this theme by establishing what her bodily limits are, and how performance allows transcendence beyond that.
