Paramore Loses Two Founding Members

 

Josh and Zac Farro, two of Paramore’s founding members, have left the group to pursue other endeavors.

“A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn’t seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn’t here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere,” remaining band members Hayley Williams, Jeremy Davis, and Taylor York wrote in a blog post on the band’s official site.

“But we never for a second thought about leaving any of this behind. We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together,” the post continued.

Paramore has a tour in South America lined up for next year and confirmed that the show would go on without Josh and Zac.
