4Music brings you some totally random facts and, if we're honest, the odd bit of speculation about Florence and the Machine...
- Florence is known as Flo to her friends.
- The colourful singer quotes her Dad as her biggest influence.
- If she had to go back in time Florence would try out the decadent 1920s.
- The fiery redhead describes herself as a real geek and loves reading.
- It's rumoured that Florence was discovered singing in a nightclub toilet so there's hope for all of us then!
- On hearing she'd won the Critics Choice BRIT Award she said "Blimey, a BRIT Award wowtheworldsgoneweird!" and about attending the awards "I'll be the one trying to get off with Katy Perry and passed out next to Leona Lewis."
- Her Mum would rather she was at University or got a 'real job' (sound familiar?)
- The style icon takes a trunk of clothes on tour, previously full of charity shop and vintage, but fame now means it also includes a designer freebie or two!
- Florence reckons that she writes her best songs when she's drunk or has a hangover.
- 'The Machine' is flexible it can be just Florence and a drum kit or a piano, but right now it's a seven-piece band.
- The fearless eccentric's energetic stage performances have included diving into a paddling pool and crowd surfing in a chain-mail dress (ouch!).
