Florence Welch has revealed that she notices more and more Florence + the Machine fans styling themselves like her.
The singer confessed that she finds it strange her followers imitate her fashion choices, but that it is flattering she has inspired so many fellow ladies since her 2009 debut.
Welch is quoted by Cover Media as saying: "They've given themselves their own name. The Flos! I get messages saying, 'I saw you on the Tube', or in this place and I'm like, 'I wasn't there'. There are quite a few doppelgangers out there, for sure."
The star also revealed that she is pleased the name Florence has become popular again, despite never liking it as a child.
She added: "Well, because Florence is an old lady's name it's good to bring it back. When I was a little girl I definitely didn't want to be called Florence. I wanted a cool American name. Like Sandy."
Florence + the Machine recently announced plans to embark on an arena tour of the UK and Ireland in March.
The band's new single 'No Light, No Light' will be officially released on January 16.
