Florence + The Machine Raise Over $700k For Charity On 'High As Hope' Tour

After spending 18 months on the road supporting their latest album High As Hope, Florence + The Machine played their final concert at the historic Acropolis in Athens, Greece over the weekend. After the show, the band celebrated a successful tour and revealed that it had raised over $700,000 from ticket sales to donate to Doctors Without Borders via Instagram.

"Thank you so much to every single person who came to see us on the High As Hope tour," they wrote alongside photos from the show. "For every ticket bought to an FATM show, $1 was donated to Doctors Without Borders @doctorswithoutborders. Thank you so much to all the fans who donated to the charity whilst they were on tour with us. This has collectively raised $734,842.59/£587,591.16/€658,668.81 for MSF, which will help them to continue doing their vitally important work around the world.  Every day, their teams provide emergency medical care to people in over 70 countries who are affected and displaced by armed conflict, natural disasters, disease outbreaks and exclusion from healthcare. If you would like to further show your support, please visit http://www.msf.org/donate."
