Florence Welch Reveals She Nearly Died From 2023 Ectopic Pregnancy

Her new interview recounts the ectopic miscarriage that required emergency surgery, a turning point for her next album.

Overview

  • Welch says she performed a Cornwall festival set while bleeding and in pain before a doctor-mandated scan revealed a ruptured fallopian tube and severe internal bleeding.
  • She underwent emergency surgery that removed the damaged tube, crediting her doctor's insistence on immediate care with saving her life.
  • In the aftermath, Florence + The Machine canceled appearances at Zurich Open Air and Rock En Seine, with Welch telling fans only that she had life‑saving surgery at the time.
  • She returned to the stage about 10 days after the operation and later connected the experience to themes on Everybody Scream, due October 31.
  • UK and European tour dates in February and March have been announced to support the album following its release.
