The group played a 6-song set for BBC Radio 1, and threw in a cover of Drake and Rihanna’s duet on “Take Care,” the title track of Drake’s new disc.
As part of the interview portion of the show, NME reports Florence was asked who she would really like to work with, saying "I haven't got anything planned at the moment. I've always wanted to do something with Drake. We've always tried to, but we keep both being really busy and nothing's happened."
"We've always been in different places,” she continued. “And the time that we did end up in the studio together, we ended up getting quite drunk together, and there wasn't a song that came out of it."
NME also reports that tickets for Florence + The Machine’s UK and Ireland March 2012 arena tour went on sale today (November 25) and have now almost completely sold out.
