Are Paramore About To Split Up?

• 22nd Feb 2008

Paramore cancelled the remaining dates of their European tour because of “internal issues”, frontwoman Hayley Williams has revealed.

Williams said that the band had been having problems for “quite a while” and weren’t able to “keep it together” in order to finish the tour.

The cancelled shows included three UK dates in Nottingham, Glasgow and Portsmouth due to take place next week.

An open letter signed by the band posted on WIlliams' website, said: “We really feel that taking this time is going to give us a chance to get away and work out our personal issues at home and on our own terms.

“We just aren’t willing to risk the life of our band over one tour,” she continued.

Williams called for the support of the bands fans, explaining that maybe one day the extent of their problems will be revealed.

“You deserve that and we deserve to make this last as long as possible – and to enjoy every second of it,” she said.
