Florence Welch is a legend. Incredibly moving footage has emerged of the performing a special private show for a fan in a hospice, who couldn’t make it to her show in Austin, TX, due to illness.

Before the show took place, Florence paid a visit to Hospice Austin’s Christopher House, playing songs including ‘Dog Days are Over’ and ‘Shake It Out’. Both Florence and the fan harmonise, with her friends watching on by her bedside.
