Florence Welch - Personal Life

Personal Life

Welch had a long-term relationship with a literary editor, Stuart Hammond, from 2008. Their temporary split provided inspiration for much of the Lungs album. Welch says, "He prefers me not to talk about it. It's funny then singing about it." In 2011 the couple broke up by mutual decision because of conflicting career demands, and the breakup provided material for Florence + the Machine's second album, Ceremonials.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
    —Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)

    “I have given the best of myself and the best work of my life to help obtain political freedom for women, knowing that upon this rests the hope not only of the freedom of men but of the onward civilization of the world.”
    —Mary S. Anthony (1827–1907)
