Stories like these never end well.

The powerful vocalist behind one of the UK’s most amazing groups, Florence + The Machine says that after two years of constant touring, she’s taking a break from it all.

“I’ve been on tour since I was 21″,  lead singer Florence Welch told UK’s Evening Standard. “I need a break and to have the chance to do normal things, like go to the supermarket and hang out with my friends.”

It also seems like she wants to take her talents elsewhere: perhaps Broadway, in the form of writing a musical. A close friend of Welsh said that the two of them have prepared many songs to use on the very different type of stage.

In truth, the 26-year-old singer feels that she just needs to be inspired to write more amazing material.

“If I started writing songs now, all they’d be about is tour buses and hotel rooms”, she claimed.

No word on how long she’ll be away from the scene, but considering how fickle the industry is, she better take a quick nap and get back to business.
