FLORENCE + The Machine have postponed the rest of their UK tour after Florence Welch broke her foot. 

In a statement on Instagram, the singer said an x-ray had revealed she was "dancing on a broken foot" at last night's show at The O2 arena in London. 

As a result, the remainder of the tour has been postponed, with dates being rescheduled for next year, to "avoid further damage".

The band had been due to play at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Sunday, November 27 and those with tickets have been told to keep a hold of them.

Florence 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.

She continued: "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."
