Florence Welch made her BBC Proms debut last night (11 September) at London’s Royal Albert Hall, performing the entirety of the first Florence + The Machine album Lungs – plus several of its B-sides – with the Jules Buckley Orchestra. Titled Symphony of Lungs, the performance marks 15 years since Welch’s debut, which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.
