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.

The lead singer of Florence + The Machine, Florence Welch, has been regarded as a powerful talent over the past couple of years. But that power is not omnipotent as she unfortunately found out when she was forced to cancel shows on their London tour due to losing her voice and possibly risking permanent damage.

“I cannot sing for a week… seriously I felt something snap, it was very frightening’; she explained on her Twitter, also issuing apologies for those who had tickets to their upcoming shows on Thursday (Spain) and Saturday (Portugal).

“Actually feeling a bit teary looking at all your messages”, she also expressed. “Thank you.. I’m gonna get mended real quick and come sing all your houses down.”

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the amazing singer.
