Florence Welch has spoken out about her sobriety.The Florence + The Machine singer, who has been sober for eight years, reflected on her current life without alcohol in a new interview on the Spotify podcast The Way We Are With Munroe Bergdorf.“In terms of navigating being in the public eye, I think sobriety is the best thing I ever did,” she explained.“It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I had a problem with drinking because I was one of those drinkers where it was all or nothing. If I enjoy my drinking, I can’t control it and if I control my drinking, I don’t enjoy it.”Welch went on to say that around the time of the release of her 2011 album ‘Ceremonials’ was the point that her relationship with alcohol needed controlling.“It was like the glamour and the grandeur of ‘Ceremonials’ that created this shield of how chaotic it was behind the scenes which is why I think that record is so dark,” she said.Welch added: “Sobriety was really lonely.
I had got into music to drink, you know, these two things that I loved the most. Singing, partying and alcohol are the things I was good at.”She went to say “if anyone is out there and struggling, it does get easier”.Meanwhile, Welch recently received an honorary fellowship from London’s University of the Arts.The singer was a student at the university but dropped out after her foundation year to pursue her music with Florence + The Machine.Earlier this year, Florence + The Machine scored their fourth Number One album with ‘Dance Fever’.Reviewing ‘Dance Fever’, NME said: “And for a moment / When I’m dancing / I feel free”, she sings, over a whirl of buzz and shimmer.

The Lightning Seeds could be “put to bed” after the England Women’s team’s Euro 2022 victory.The comedian said in a new interview that the song, which had become part of the fabric of English football culture after decades without an international tournament win, could be less of a staple in cheering on players in future fixtures.“The women have reset the clock,” Baddiel told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme (via The Guardian) after the win, which erased 56 years of England failing to secure a trophy.‘Three Lions (Football’s Coming Home)’ was released in May 1996 to mark that year’s UEFA European Championship (aka the Euros), which England was hosting.The lyric “30 years of hurt” in the chorus was a reflection on the fact that England hadn’t won a trophy since triumphing against West Germany in the 1966 FIFA World Cup.When asked if it was now time to retire the song as well as decades of gloomy expectations, Baddiel said: “I’m very happy to think the song would, in a way, be put to bed.” He added, however, that fans may feel differently the next time England loses.“It was beautiful to hear it sung out of Wembley [on Sunday] as we finally clinched a final, I really did think that would never happen,” Baddiel added. “It’s so amazing to actually think, ‘Oh, we’ve won, this doesn’t happen, it’s actually happened.’”The England Women’s football team gatecrashed their coach Sarina Wiegman’s press conference after the match on Sunday (July 31), singing the anthem as they danced about and climbed on top of tables.
