    Florence Welch 'Slammed' By Support Band For Diva Demands On Tour

    Florence Welch has let her recent success go to her head, according to her recent support band Clement Marfo & The Frontline.

    The UK seven-piece band, who toured with Florence & The Machine earlier this year, said that the singer wanted 'everything black' on her tour rider.

    In an interview with TaleTela, the band said: ''When we were touring with Florence and the Machine, I remember telling our backstage rider some of our demands and we asked for juice, beers, sandwiches and crisps. When he asked Florence what she wanted, she said “I want everything black.”

    ''Black straws, black tissues, black curtains – everything black. We were like “alright love.”

    They added:  ''She made the backstage team clean her dressing room four times and then she went in and said, “it’s not clean.” The venue was in Swansea, and because all of her runners were serving us as well, they were all complaining about her to us. That’s how we find out all the gossip (laughs)''

    ''I’ve met her before and she is really down to earth and cool but I was like ‘What?’…You sell a million copies and you start to get a big head.''

    Meanwhile, Florence Welch has spoke about her rumoured collaboration with Drake.
