Florence + The Machine have canceled a UK tour after singer Florence Welch broke her foot on stage on Friday.
The singer was injured on the opening night of the tour at London's O2 Arena, but managed to complete her first show.
A fan told the BBC that she "kept going to see a medic while they wiped the blood off the stage".
After being (incorrectly) reassured that she hadn't broken a bone, the singer then ran a lap around the O2 during her song Choreomania.
In an Instagram post the next day, Welch had bad news.
"I'm so sorry to say that 'after a r radiograph, it looks like I was dancing on a broken foot last night," she told fans, alongside a photo of the blood-splattered scene.
"It's not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I'm in pain and, as dancers know, dancing to an injury is not not a good idea."
