Florence Welch was mortified when footage of her drunk ended up on MTV News

Songstress Florence Welch has revealed that she was left mortified after footage of her drunkenly performing for friends at a bar was uploaded to the Internet

Speaking to the Rolling Stone about the incident, she explained that it was a personal night out and unfortunately someone decided to catch it on camera for all to see: "When you're trying to live and love in a non-scheduled situation, you're just like, 'Oh, sh*t, I just keep f**king up. What am I doing? Like ending up on MTV News drunk."

"There was a big party at my house one night. I got really drunk, and we moved to the tiki bar that's round the corner. I hadn't performed in ages, and there's a house band there playing, and my friends are tossing me shots, so I went up onstage. Two days later, I get a phone call from my manager. Someone had filmed me singing and screaming and taking shots. And it ended up on MTV News. I was like, 'Oh sh*t.'"

Florence + the Machine, meanwhile, are gearing up for the release of their new album 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' and Welch added that she created the record while enjoying some downtime last year: "I had quite a monkish existence. I cycled to the studio, cycled home, read, ate, went to bed. It was like convalescing. But it really was magic."
