It’s easy to fall for Florence & The Machine frontwoman Florence Welch when you see her perform. Not only does the singer boast some of the most formidable pipes in the business, she’s also relentlessly energetic and theatrical.

In fact, it was her animated nature that got her into a brief spot of trouble during a recent Melbourne tour stop. Welch took a tumble whilst performing at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl during a rendition of ‘What Kind Of Man’.

As readers can see in the footage below, despite the fall Welch, ever the consummate professional, doesn’t miss a beat and quickly recovers from the misstep as she continues to belt out those powerful notes.

Besides, the accidental bump into one of her backup singers is nothing compared to the injury the tough-as-nails Welch sustained after jumping off stage at the Coachella Festival back in April, which saw her copping a broken foot.
