Florence Welch has fame fear

Florence Welch is scared of 'falling off' the metaphorical cliff of fame.

The British songstress and her band Florence + The Machine are set to release a second album. Florence makes many references to ghosts on the album, which includes the track What the Water Gave Me.

Florence says the nod to mystic forces in her lyrics come from being a 'really scared kid', and has revealed what she is terrified of now.

'God, there's so many things. I don't want to talk about them because they might become real. It's usually just about hurting people you love or messing up the opportunities that have been given to you. You move from being a kid and being scared of vampires and werewolves into equally unrealistic scenarios to do with relationships and your job,' she explained in an interview with NME magazine.

'[Fame] is like standing on the edge of a cliff trying not to fall off.'

Florence is devastated to have never met fellow British songstress Amy Winehouse. The singer died aged 27 at her London home in July.

Florence admired her unique talent.

'No, I am so sad to have never met her. It is really strange [that we hadn't met]. When I found out I was like, 'Oh, I never will.' I remember seeing her at Glastonbury performing and being completely in awe of her,' she explained.

'Her voice just seemed so unique and powerful, but she wasn't trying to be anything she wasn't; she was raw and real.'

Florence + The Machine's upcoming album Ceremonials is set for an imminent release.

The group's debut record Lungs came out in 2009. It was a commercial success, picking up a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize and winning MasterCard British Album at the 2010 BRIT Awards.
