"Florence Welch is recovering nicely after suffering a vocal injury last week, but admits she was very worried about her voice.\r\nThe 25-year-old Florence + the Machine singer tells Us Weekly, &amp;quot;I actually felt something go pop or snap, or whatever. Whatever it is, it was very frightening. I had to really adjust because it happened in the middle of a show.&amp;quot; She was then forced to cancel two performances at the Benicassim Festival in Spain and the Optimus Festival in Portugal.\r\nFellow British singer and her old pal Adele, 23, described a similar feeling when her voice &amp;quot;went&amp;quot; out last year. &amp;quot;It felt like something popped in my throat,&amp;quot; she told 60 Minutes. Adele, however, needed to undergo surgery when medical professionals discovered she had a polyp on her vocal chord.\r\n\r\nWelch said she hadn&amp;apos;t spoke to Adele about the injury, but assures Us, &amp;quot;I had a full check up and he said that there wasn&amp;apos;t any permanent damage that couldn&amp;apos;t be restored without rest. So if I keep taking care of myself there won&amp;apos;t be any reoccurrences.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nShe does confess, however, that taking care of herself hasn&amp;apos;t been easy.\r\n&amp;quot;No tea, no coffee! That was the hardest part,&amp;quot; she reveals. &amp;quot;I had been on such a caffeine kick up until then. I was fully back on five diet cokes a day and two coffees in the morning. I was really twitching my way through life, but I was completely loving it. And I had to cut it out completely. And I managed to get properly hurt again and had to cut everything out, so I&amp;apos;m back on the herbal tea.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe fear of another injury should be enough to make her follow doctor&amp;apos;s orders! &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s the most frightening thing, literally,&amp;quot; she says.\r\nBut Welch, who is back on the U.S. leg of her tour now and playing Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 5, adds, &amp;quot;I think it&amp;apos;s back a hundred percent.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
