Florence Welch talks about Beyonce
"It was probably the best night of my life and I can't remember any of it." Florence Welch is desperately trying to recall the details of a tequila session with Beyoncé at the Yankee Stadium, well before Blue Ivy Carter appeared on the radar. Following the huge success of her debut Lungs, the Camberwell-born singer's star-status has become firmly cemented with the success of her stunning second album Ceremonials. Here, she talks to GQ.com about tattoos, tribute gigs and the dark arts of "Floetry"...
GQ.com: Who's better at holding their drink - you or Beyoncé?
Florence Welch: I think Beyoncé might be. I was so drunk that night. Apparently we had a really long conversation, but I can't remember any of it. We met her again at an event just before the VMAs, my sister was with me and Beyoncé said "Hi Grace! I've heard so much about you!" So I must have been talking about my sister, but God knows what I said.
