Florence and the Machine have postponed their Glasgow OVO Hydro show after lead singer Florence Welch broke her foot onstage while performing.
Fans have been left disappointed after the Dog Days Are Over singer posted a statement on her Twitter letting fans know she wouldn't be able to perform her UK tour dates due to the injury. Florence and her band were due to play at the OVO Hydro on Sunday, November 27, but the gig has now been postponed.
Florence said it’s ‘not in her nature’ to postpone a show but a broken foot has left her with no choice. The singer said she was left ‘heartbroken’ advising fans to ‘hang on to your tickets’.

The OVO Hydro has confirmed a new date will be announced in due course and 'all tickets remain valid for the new date'.
The blow comes midway through the band’s tour, which started in Paris on November 14, visiting all UK major cities including Glasgow, with two nights at The O2 in London before finishing in Dublin on November 30.
Florence posted on Twitter alongside a picture of a blood splattered stage reads: "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."
