On the inspiration behind her new LP, Florence Welch has spoken out about her battle with alcoholism and depression, adding that a stolen cagoule 'saved her life' during a nervous breakdown. But prior to the making of the record, she went through a deeply 'chaotic' and 'unhappy' period while taking a year-long break from the music industry following the breakdown of a relationship.
"There’s a real down," said Welch, “with everything there has to be an opposite. I can go way up there, but I get really sad.”
She continued: “I have a therapist, she’s known me for years. She helped my little sister as well. She’s so rational, it’s good for me, because I see everything in extremes. She’s like, ‘Maybe it’s about coming to a more moderate place?’”
