Florence Welch thanks fan for fake bloody severed hand flung onstage

Someone was kind enough to give Florence Welch a hand … literally.

The lead singer of Florence + the Machine was given a fake bloody hand by a fan last week during one the band’s two concerts at Madison Square Garden, according to People.

Welch was in the middle of chatting with the crowd when the hand was flung onstage by an unknown audience member.

“It’s a beautiful bloody severed hand,” the 36-year-old crooner said. “How did you know?”

Welch joked that she would “eat it later” before returning to the microphone.

The “Cosmic Love” singer posted a clip of the interaction on TikTok, where it immediately went viral.

“Did anybody else get the same vibe as ‘it’s an avocado thanks’ or is it just me,” said one user, referencing another viral meme.

“So wholesome I love it,” another said.

“At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if she was a vampire,” joked another fan.

In July, Welch revealed on the podcast “The Way We Are” that she struggled with alcohol consumption.

“It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I had a problem with drinking because I was one of those drinkers where [it was all or nothing],” Welch said.

“If I enjoy my drinking, I can’t control it, and if I control my drinking, I don’t enjoy it. That was a real wake-up call for me.”
