‘It has been very exciting to see this dress being worn so soon, while there is still such a buzz around the collection, Florence has real talent and wonderful stage presence. I am delighted that it was worn by such an incredible artist and for such a special event,'

Dido on Florence

Hello everyone,
It’s been a month of amazing news for me and now I have some more to share. Me and my husband rohan are expecting a baby and we’re beyond happy and excited about it. So as some of you already know, I won’t be able to travel to LA for the oscars ceremony to perform ‘if I rise’. Obviously I’m really gutted about not being there – going to the oscars has literally been a dream of mine since I was about 9 - but I’m absolutely thrilled that the wonderful florence welch has agreed to step in and sing the song. I can’t wait to hear her sing it as I’m a huge fan of hers and she’ll sound amazing. I will definitely be watching the whole thing live on tv and texting rollo (who is going to be at the ceremony. But not singing... Thankfully... :-)) Also, me and AR are going to be filming a video for ‘if I rise’ next week which I’m really looking forward to.
Love, dxxx

F+TM set to perform at The Oscars

By Marc Malkin
 
Florence Welch is everywhere—and we love it.

I just got word that the frontwoman of the Grammy-nominated Florence + the Machine is going to be performing at the Academy Awards Feb. 27.

Huh? It's not as if she's nominated for any song.

Here's the deal...
Dido, who is up for an Oscar with her brother Rollo Armstrong and Indian composer A.R. Rahman for the song "If I Rise" from 127 Hours, isn't available on the big night.

Florence will step in for her fellow Brit to belt out the song with Rahman.

It's going to be a busy night for Welch. Later in the evening, Florence + the Machine is slated to perform at Elton John and David Furnish's annual Oscar party benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

See you at the Grammys and the Oscars, Flo!
