Florence Welch has faced numerous hardships throughout her career in an industry that is often unfair and sexist. Still, she\u2019s now opened up about one of the hardest things she\u2019s ever had to face: a near-death experience as a result of an ectopic pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Guardian, the star revealed that she had experienced a miscarriage in August 2023. The fertilised egg had implanted in her fallopian tube, which led to huge internal bleeding. \u201cThe closest I came to making life was the closest I came to death,\u201d she shared. \u201cAnd I felt like I had stepped through this door, and it was just full of women, screaming.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that this occurred on stage. After getting pregnant with her boyfriend, she learned of the tragedy from the doctors: \u201cI think, because it was my first time being pregnant, and it was my first miscarriage, I was like, OK, I\u2019ve heard this is part of it. I spoke to my doctor, and they are not generally dangerous. Devastating, but not dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was set to play a show in Cornwall a short while after, which she still went ahead with, despite waking up on the morning shaky and heavily bleeding. She made it through the performance, believing the issue had subsided. However, at the doctor\u2019s insistence, she went to the hospital.<\/p>\n
She shared incredulously: \u201cDo you know the fucked-up thing?\u201d she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to go for the scan. I thought, I\u2019ve done this show, I\u2019m fine, I can cope. But my doctor\u2019s insistence that I come in saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctor immediately told the star she needed surgery, and her fallopian tube could not be saved. She recalled a primal urge to flee, but the emergency surgery was successful, and she took to the stage again less than two weeks later.<\/p>\n
Welch has been enjoying a triumphant return to the industry. Far Out gave her latest single, \u2018One of the Greats\u2019, five stars, calling it \u201csurely a knock-out.\u201d The review went on: \u201cBy the time she\u2019s calling out to the girls, dedicating all of this to them and confronting dead on men\u2019s fragility when it comes to powerful women, there is no coming back. It\u2019s done, it\u2019s dead, Florence Welch killed it, finally finding the exact right words to deal the ultimate blow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
