Is Paramore Breaking Up????

Filed under: Paramore

paramore1.jpg

Uh oh! We hope not.

The band has just cancelled the remainder of their European tour and posted the following ominous message on their official blog:

"Hey guys,

As most of you already know, we have cancelled the rest of our UK/Europe RIOT Tour. First of all, we want to say we are so sorry for letting all of you down. We feel terrible about it and really didn’t expect for this to happen. It probably doesn’t sound like much but we just hate that we won’t get to play this show for those of you who had hoped to see it.

There are a lot of internal issues that have been going on in this band for quite a while now. A lot of it started right around the time we were gearing up for the RIOT Tour in the US. We were able to fight through all of it for this long but unfortunately we weren’t able to keep it together long enough to make it through ’til the end of this tour. 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. That probably sounds terrible right now, to say that finishing a week of shows wasn’t worth it… but if we can use this next month wisely then we will be a lot healthier for the tours ahead. We hope that - even though it might be hard to understand - that you guys can support us at this time.

Maybe one day we will tell the whole story but for now, just know that all five of us are going to work so hard to get it right. You deserve that and we deserve to make this last as long as possible - and to enjoy every second of it. We love you guys so much. If you could pray for us or just keep us in your thoughts it would be really helpful. You guys have gotten us so far and been the best motivators since day one. We are so sorry for the trouble we caused you guys who bought tickets, fan club members and to all the promoters and venues that we won’t be there to put on a show for. We are extremely sorry to New Found Glory and all their fans who wanted to put on and see a show and who we’ve let down. And lastly, to Lost Alone.

We will keep you guys updated.

Love,
Hayley, Jeremy, Josh, Zac and Taylor"

      Oh my God, PLEASE tell me this is all fabricated. I heard about them having issues at home, but PLEASE do not tell me this is true. I love them so much, they are my favorite band. HAYLEY WILL NOT GO SOLO, she loves this band too much to leave. Honestly, just reading this makes me want to tear into shreds…this is just way too much for me to handle. I MEAN, COME ON! THE BAND JUST CAN'T BREAK UP! Who will sing along to sexy Josh Farro's amazing guitar playing, alongside Zac Farro's badass drums, and Jeremy Davis's totally awesome bass tracks? EXACTLY MY POINT! THEY CAN'T BREAK UP!

      you people have no right whatsoever to bash them! you dont even understand that crap they have been through two band members left the band hayley was abused when she was little by her stepfather and a ton of other shit dont you dare blame hayley dont you dare call them stupid for doing this you dont even know them on one fucking personal level and you have the nerve to talk about them like this you are all dipshits they are a great band their music is amazing and their personalities are just as amazing those four people are great people and they take a break because of personal issues that you may not even understand cause all so damn stupid if something happened to them that is their problem to deal with let them deal with it in peace so they can come back stronger then ever but i want to let all you bashers know that you have no right to talk about them like that SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

      210

      Um, Paramore are actually a good talented band with great music. They're great people, too. There's nothing to hate.

      If you don't like them, simply don't comment. Don't spread hate.

      And it's pathetic that the media blogs are just exaggerating everything. Who said they were going to break up?!

      Let's put something in bold, dumbasses:

      We just aren’t willing to risk the life of our band over one tour.

      211

      all of you guys who are saying that paramore need to break up and all this other negative crap need to shut the fuck up. Why do you care if they're together or not if you don't like em? If you don't like a band then don't listen to them its that simple. Just leave em alone because if any of you tried to do what they're doing you wouldn't have half the success. That band has more talent in their fingertips than any of you bashers do in your entire body

      212

      Oh, great, time to get the razors out, boys and girls. Big fucking deal! They're just little kids, not major musicians with any real talent.

    13. mike says – reply to this


      213

      and who the fuck are you to say who has talent and who hasn't, you're a fucking nobody. If they didnt have any talent or weren't major musicians than how come they were nominated for a grammy?

      I know lots of people read Teen People and read mtv.com messgae baords about Paramore. I don't know where people get this stuff from about their past. Guess what? My old band played shows with Paramore, we toured with bands who toured with them. As I said before, the reason why they were signed is a bad kept secret. Atlantic got Fueled by Ramen to sign them. They are a joke. They might have all grown up together, but the point all along was to get Hayley fans. The dudes in the band resent it.

      215

      I was a friend of theirs waaaay before MTV happened and they had issues even then (mainly with Jeremy…) I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed together but changed the members and replaced him again.

      218

      They're NOT breaking up.
      They just have to take some time to go threw some personal issue's.
      Give them some time, and I'm sure we'll be seeing them rocking out with Jimmy Eat World shortly on their upcoming tour. :)

      DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR 'EM! :D

      wtf is wrong with you? you just said you never heard their music and you're judging them by how you think they look? you're just another one of those fucking idiots who think whatever they like is better than what anyone else likes. well fuck off and die because you're probably not that important to anyone, you're just an insignificant piece of shit.

      and how could you say you wish someone had hep c?! you dont even know her and you're acting like you hate her for some reason.

      and one more thing? why cant people just shut up and except the fact that this band is around and their everywhere and no matter how much you say you hate them they're still gonna be around, they wont break up believe me.

      I think they are adorable!! I cant see them spliting up. Yes, Haley and one of the others guys have been dating awhile…BUT also, one of the other guys is her step brother..so, maybe its just tension like some others were saying. They are awesome and edgey and fun, i would hate to see it happen….i was looking forward to a possible show in April!!

      I have been listen to this band for years I'd hate to see them break up, but i have a feeling Taylor has something to do with it, when ever a 5th members comes in to the band it brings drama. Taylor will probally leave and they will be back to 4, plus one un-know face in the back. Hope things work out for them!

      Whatever is happening "internally" with Paramore pulling out
      and cancelling tours doesn't look very good

      Even if someone was in rehab, a touring musician could help them finish
      out the tour. This lets down their label, support bands, the venues, and of course the fans. It's not professional at all to back out of a tour except for
      good reason…like a lead vocalist with nodes on their throat etc

      Many bands work through band members dropping out etc
      and FINISH THE TOUR
      30stm did it quite well when Matt Wachter left the band in the middle
      of Taste of Chaos

      We're so sorry doesn't seem to hold water as an excuse it's just
      unprofessional

      And for all you guys who say the guys are just a "back up band" to hayley, that atlantic hired is BULLSHIT! they met in school!!

      I bet most of you guys only know like 2 songs! and only because of mtv. and for all the REAL fans, hopefully you know better then to believe stupid crap people are saying!!!!

      Re: holly

      thank you for trying to clear up some of this. :]

      All of you ppl are low life jerks who have nothing better to do than bash others! This band is amazing, Id like to see half of you do what they do. Theyre constantly recording and touring, they need, no they deserve a break from all of this. And I think its pretty lame someone posted something like this here, saying " Is paramore breaking up?" if they were going to break up and they wanted us to know about it, they would tell us, so all of you should stop assuming things, and stop bashing hayley, youre all just jealous. Stop blaming her! She is an AMAZING person, and if I didnt believe that I wouldnt be saying it, this band is not a "one hit wonder" as some here have said. Theyre amazing. If you dont like them, fine, you dont have to bash them. Noone is forcing you to listen to them or to like them so shut up!!!

      Paramore isn't going to break up that easily. That is the thing with these blogger people. They manipulate things. Just because there is a small issue internally within the band, doesn't mean that they are gone for good. Let the band speak for themselves when they are ready to do so.

      this is so hard to hear. this is an important band to so many people, christian or not, and i feel really sad about this news. the best thing about music is the way that it can make your day-month-year and paramore did that. i wish them all the best, but will be saddened if they break up. to everyone reading this, be well and even though life is hard–i hope you all are happy and healthy.
      ps. perez, congrats on the chillis ad-you are amazing and im glad that big business is able to see that.

      Maybe Hayley should call Pat Benatar and see what she thinks. After all, that's who she stole her act from, and Pat used to break up with her guitarist all the time until they got married.

      I swear you guys' are stupid. And the so called "true fans" who are actually THINKING about them breaking up, you're ridiculous. For a fact I know Paramore knows its just an obstacle and they're going to get through this. They're still young, they're still trying to figure themselves out. You guys swear that its an easy job. i wouldn't know but just seeing how fast they grew into all this stardom, its a rush. So please shut the fuck up and leave Paramore alone.

      Re: Lauren

      No retard, if you read/watch shit on Paramore you would probably know that they stopped dating probably years ago. So this has nothing to do with the band dating someone THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE DATING ARE ZAC AND JEREMY. You guys are ridiculous.

      Paramore has been around longer than Riot! so those people who said that Paramore are just one-hit wonders, you need to check your facts. Even if they did break up, they would still have their older fans who have stuck by them from the beginning, not just when they were nominated for a Grammy and Misery Business.

      Anyway, it won't make a difference to me because I'm not a fan. They're not even that good.

      God, they're terrible. Typical pop-punk crap. I guess having a female lead makes it somehow different.

      Perez, you should take interest in bands like 45 Grave or Siouxsie and the Banshees, perhaps even The Birthday Massacre if you want to go to the more electronic route.

      new live journal comment;

      "hello everyone…

      since we posted the last entry, we've gotten tons of phone calls and people posting things on websites saying that we are breaking up. i just want to make it clear, though, that by posting two nights ago we weren't saying the band was over. we posted because we are going through hard times and we felt that because we have a really good support system in you guys, our fans, it would be better for us to just be honest about what's going on - even though, it was a pretty vague explanation. man, some of the rumors that i've heard going around are insane! it's weird how out of hand things can get even when you just try to tell a simple truth. (for the record, my eggo is not preggo). anyway, we just need to take time to make this band the best it can be… and we are doing that now. "

      I really hope that they can work everything out. Hayley seems really nice, I saw her in Phoenix at the Marquee theatre and she let a group of girls come up on stage for a birthday…the whole band was so energetic and had such stage presence. It'd be a shame for them to break up before they reach their prime.

      She has a really great singing voice so whoever's saying otherwise has clearly not seen them live.

      finally, a band that acually plays real instruments and theyre gona break up ?

      since ive never heard of you, i checked u out on myspace, and thought you were pretty good for a bunch of kids. i think you should stay together . heres why:

      people are going to get tired of these talentless pop kareoke lipsingers and dancin fools, and theyre computor generated music. live music will make a comeback.. stick it out kids…..please bring real talent back…please……..god bless
