Florence + The Machine have made the unfortunate decision to cancel the rest of their tour, including their Dublin date, following an incident which resulted in lead singer, Florence Welch, breaking her foot.

The indie-rock outfit had kicked off their Dance Fever tour in Paris on November 14, subsequently performing a show in Cardiff and one show in London's O2 Arena before the tour had to be cancelled.

Fans had noticed blood on the stage after the group's London performance and worried for the singer's wellbeing. Ahead of the band’s second scheduled London show on Saturday, Welch revealed the news about her injury, saying she was "heartbroken."

In a tweet announcing the news, the singer wrote: "I’m so sorry to say that after an X-ray it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night.

"It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I’m in pain and, as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea. And have been told not to perform to avoid further damage.

"Please hang on to your tickets. We are working our hardest to reschedule these dates for next year and we will let you know as soon as possible.

"I’m heartbroken as the Dance Fever tour has been my favourite show we have ever put on. The communion with you. Your beautiful faces shining.

"I love you so much and I’m so sorry to anyone who is disappointed. My heart is aching. I can’t wait to be back on my feet and back in your arms."
