Florence Welch made the long journey home for London commuters more entertaining with a singalong on the underground after attending Kendrick Lamar show recently.

Kendrick Lamar's concert at the Hammersmith Apollo was star studded, with attendees including Nicola Roberts, Jameela Jamil and Tinie Tempah.

However, Florence was the only one to get the tube on her way home, to try and avoid the traffic.

A source tells The Sun, "Florence jumped on the Tube after Kendrick and, as you can imagine, every carriage was packed. At first she tried to keep a low profile but it didn't take long for a few people to recognise her.

"They started singing 'You Got The Love' but instead of bailing at the next stop, Florence joined in. It was brilliant. She finished 'You've Got The Love' before changing to the Kendrick Lamar song 'Backseat Freestyle'."

Florence has been a hip-hop and r&b fan for a while, as she previously toured with Canadian r&b artist The Weeknd. She's also good friends with A$AP Rocky, and featured on his track 'I Come Apart'.

Florence isn't the first artist to take the tube. Rihanna took the tube to one of her concerts last year, and Chris Martin did as well.

And Jay-Z recently took the subway in America, leading to a viral video in which a woman admits she doesn't know who he is.
