Florence and the (scrap) Machine

The Florence and the Machine singer has revealed that she almost scrapped her award winning album after a bad split with her boyfriend.

The star, who comfortably won Best British Album at this year’s BRIT Awards, said that she wanted to “sabotage” the project following the split.

The singer is reported to have said “About 18 months ago I was in a seriously bad way,” she said “I’d broken up with Stuart, I felt out of control and was very raw. I was not in a good frame of mind….it seemed so wrong that when I was so unhappy in my personal life, my career was suddenly taking off.”

It was only after spending a family holiday wallowing in self pity, it dawned on her that singing would probably help her cope with the depression.

“I got through that depression, that heartbreak and so many other things with the album, which is why it’s so emotional. It’s possibly why so many people connect with it.”

Aww well done Florence, alls well that ends well!
