"You know what's been really interesting … in real life, it's super annoying with the boot, but the performances, I was really worried about them, and actually, like, we had a load of smaller shows booked, we didn't cancel them," Welch explained. "But I think had I not injured myself I would've probably performed them with the same kind of, you know, energy I would've done at a bigger show Coachella and that kind of thing. But this injury and having to sit down, it kind of created this intimacy and connection with the audience that I hadn't thought about."
