    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.

    • Hayley has a LOT of talent, but without them is NOT the same thing. Not many artists play drums, guitar or bass like them! They should stick together. I hope so. On their website, they’ve cancelled the Europe tour but US concerts are still on. This is a great band, they are great role models and their music is amazing. I wish them all the best!

    • They are generic musicians... come on! This is simple rock music. Sound good, its pop. Good. But on technical side, they are ordinary musicians. She should go solo now.

    • Paramore should NOT break up. They barely got the world’s attention and with that they could rule the world with their awesome music. Yes Hayley has an AMAZING voice, but she is nothing without Jeremy,Zac, and Josh. If they do break up, they will break our hearts.
