Singer Florence Welch has partnered with Planned Parenthood to advertise the abortion giant to fans who attend the next portion of the Florence + The Machine’s ongoing tour.
Planned Parenthood announced the partnership on Monday and said that beginning on April, 8, more than a dozen of its affiliates will set up tables at multiple stops on the tour to talk with concertgoers about the kinds of “sexual and reproductive care” its centers provide.
“Planned Parenthood health centers are a lifeline for millions of people, and they are relentlessly attacked,” Welch said in a statement. “Having access to a trusted provider is essential and also the difference between life and death. In this moment of uncertainty for our rights, I’m proud to support Planned Parenthood and create space on my tour for them to connect people with the care and information they need.”
The North American leg of the band’s tour is set to pick up that same day at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Billboard reported.
The tour is for the album “Everybody Scream,” which was released in October, and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, according to the report. Shortly before the release of the album, Welch opened up about having to undergo an emergency surgery in 2023 for an ectopic pregnancy, which is not the same as an elective abortion. Welch said she lost a fallopian tube in the process.

not me! I looked her up- she’s British.
Yes. Shows what Colson and Pearcey wrote about art.
Yes. Came on the scene about 20 years ago. I would describe them as a British, art-school, post-punk, whining, standard "indy" band. Did some collaborations with Taylor Swift, etc... Promoted by the fashionistas at BBC.
I'm a little surprised they are in outright joint venture with Planned Parenthood, but I guess they are getting old and its all in the open now. It fits with the typical anti-establishment-yet-totally-establishment image of so much of today's manufactured "youth culture."
“And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
‘Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It’s always darkest before the dawn”. ‘Shake it Out’.
Yes and not a fan of their music (objectively speaking.)
Who knew the Machine was a vacuum?
I’ve been a fan of Florence Welch ever since her debut album. Gorgeous voice.
Her affiliation with Planned Parenthood makes me lose any respect that I had for her.
