Florence: 'People will explode at VMAs'

Florence Welch has warned that people may explode during her performance at the VMAs.

The Florence and the Machine frontwoman revealed that she will attempt to recreate the music video for 'Dog Days Are Over', which shows people spontaneously combusting.

"What we're trying to do is kind of encapsulate the video into a live performance," she told MTV.

"Basically, the whole thing is just me arranging flowers, and then a load of people around me spontaneous combust, and that's it. It's going to be great."

She continued: "It's sort of energy and chaos. There's people, like, actually physically exploding in the video, and hopefully that won't happen.

"If everyone's really into it, that's fine with me, but we haven't planned it."

The singer, who is nominated for four awards, also explained the meaning behind the Machine aspect of her name.

She said: "The machine for the actual show is something kind of different - the machine is never supposed to be my band. It's kind of everything and nothing."

The MTV VMAs take place on Sunday night in at Los Angeles.
