Florence Welch Celebrates Album 'Birthday' Twin Drake With Throwback Video

On Friday (June 29), the world was gifted with two highly anticipated albums: Drake's two-part, 25 track Scorpion and Florence + The Machine's High As Hope. To celebrate the occasion, Florence Welch shared a throwback video of the two performing together. You read that correctly—Florence Welch and Drake have performed together.

"It's wonderful to be putting music out into the world on the same day as you @Drake," the singer wrote alongside the clip. "This is us back on our 1st. Congratulations on your 5th, honoured to share my 4th birthday with you x x."

Watch the clip and read her heartfelt tweet below.

The video, which sees the unlikely duo perform together and then embrace as fireworks go off around them, was taken in January 2011, when Drake brought Welch onstage at London's Hammersmith Apollo to fill in for Alicia Keys on his Thank Me Later track "Fireworks."

Watch a fan-filmed video of the full performance below.

While Drake's new album seems to be quite revealing, Welch's is intimate. She sat down with iHeartRadio to talk about the album recently. "It's a very instinctive, and physical, and tactile record, and the vocals are still the demo vocals," she explained. "A lot of it is just exactly how it was, the first thing I touched in the room is still on the record. It has that feeling to it."
