Welch jumped for joy after the proposal, as all three women hugged center stage. “Jenny and Steph we wish you so much love,” the singer said before dedicating a song to the couple. Florence + The Machine are preparing to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2009 debut album, Lungs, on Aug. 16 with a lavish box set featuring the original album on pink vinyl with an LP of bonus material, postcards and inserts with unseen images from the time and three previously unreleased demos, as well as a rare acoustic version of “My Boy Builds Coffins” and a cover of the Beatles’ “Oh! Darling” recorded live at Abbey Road Studios.
