Florence & The Machine Promises 'Exploding People' At MTV VMAs

Florence & The Machine has said that people may explode during her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend.

The singer is due to perform her hit 'Dog Days Are Over' at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 13).

And in an interview with MTV, singer Florence Welch said she was hoping to recreate the track's original video, which saw people spontaneously combust.

“It's going to be great. It's sort of energy and chaos,” she said.

“There's people, like, actually physically exploding in the video, and hopefully that won't happen. If everyone's really into it, that's fine with me, but we haven't planned it."

Welch has received four nominations for the song, including Video Of The Year and Best Rock Video.

Other previously announced performers include Usher, Paramore, Eminem, Kanye West and Justin Bieber.

Lady Gaga leads the way with a record-breaking 13 nominations.

Justin Timberlake, Twilight's Ashley Greene and rapper Nicki Minaj are also scheduled to present awards.
