Florence and the Machine singer Florence Welch broke her foot during a stage-dive at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California over the weekend.

The star posted a picture of an X-ray of her foot on Twitter with the message: "I'm so sorry to say, that after what was one of my favourite shows ever at Coachella, I have discovered I have broken my foot from leaping off the stage.

"Unfortunately while this heals, my performances will have to be somewhat stripped back. I'm so sorry, I'm pretty devastated, but I still want to do the shows.

"I understand this is not what you were expecting, but I hope it's just as enjoyable. I'm going to try and make it super special for you. By the time Glastonbury rolls around I should be back on my feet."

Florence and the Machine are set to play another Coachella set at the festival's second weekend on Sunday, April 19.

As well as headlining Glastonbury, Welch will also take to the stage at Electric Picnic in Stradbally this September.
