Welch Bans Booze At Gigs
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE star FLORENCE WELCH has banned booze backstage at her gigs – so she won’t be tempted to get drunk and launch into her famous on-stage acrobatics.
The singer’s mother recently warned her to stop climbing equipment on stage after she witnessed her daughter dangling 30 feet (nine metres) in the air at a festival performance last summer (09).
And the Lungs star, 23, admits she only starts scaling the rigging when she’s had a drink – so she’s banned alcohol before her shows.
She says, “My climbing is all to do with whiskey. If I drink, then it sends me totally loopy. Now I have banned alcoholic drinks on my rider before gigs. I think it’s safer that way and it pleases my mum, who’s convinced I am going to fall and kill myself.”
