"Florence Welch has laughed off rumours that she belongs to the Illuminati.  The &amp;#039;No Light, No Light&amp;#039; singer confessed that she is baffled by suggestions that she is a member of the alleged secret society but joked that she is flattered to be associated with other big-name stars.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s ridiculous. Really? So people [think that]?&amp;quot; she asked MTV News upon hearing the reports. &amp;quot;I heard Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 were [members of the Illuminati], so I don&amp;#039;t know how I feel about it, because I think Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 are the most incredible artists ever, so in a weird way, it&amp;#039;s slightly complimentary. But also completely ridiculous. I&amp;#039;m definitely not [a member]. It&amp;#039;s just not true.&amp;quot;  Welch recently confessed that she is &amp;quot;freaked out&amp;quot; by the success of Florence + the Machine but grateful for the support of her fans.  She has said that her latest LP, Ceremonials, was influenced by a variety of musical genres including soul and hip-hop.
