An American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, called Paramore was popular in the 2000s and had a notable comeback in 2023 after supporting Taylor Swift during her Eras tour. However, the band’s social media accounts and website became inaccessible by 27 December 2023.
Thus, people wonder whether the new year comes with bad news or if the band is only reinventing itself. This Is Why is the latest album released by Paramore, and fans hope it does not turn out their last one.
In 2010, Paramore shared a blog post on their official website regarding the two founding members, Josh and Zac, leaving the band. Josh expressed his disappointment regarding the band and formed his own in January 2011. Zac rejoined Paramore by playing drum for their fifth album.
Davis began a legal battle with Hayley, stating that he was the co-founder of the band and enjoyed the same benefits as her. However, she later informed her fans that their feud was settled. Moreover, her father had allegedly called her the real artist of the band, a long ago, which disappointed Josh.
Did Paramore Break Up?
People found several hints regarding the breaking up of Paramore, though there is no confirmation yet. In that case, the Paramore band members addressed the uncertainty of the band’s future in mid-December 2023. It looked like they wanted to wrap up everything after allegedly fulfilling all label obligations.
The band members’ words mentioned that they had nothing to bond them together after becoming free agents. A chapter of their careers is supposedly over. People panicked when these statements were converted to action.
Over 3.5 million Instagram users followed Paramore’s official account till it was taken down on 26 December 2023. Moreover, their Twitter account is inaccessible, and the band’s official website shows the ‘404 error.
However, Hayley expressed her happiness to be a part of the band while getting interviewed by UPROXX. Meanwhile, Zac Farro dreamt of extending the band’s empire. So, the bottom line is that they plan to be together irrespective of the band’s future.
Fans Discuss Paramore’s Future
Paramore fans flooded the comment sections of TikTok and Reddit when Paramore became inaccessible on social media. Amid the panicking comments, an extraordinary fan guessed that the band only fulfilled all obligations with their previous record label. Thus, they must have moved on with one another without breaking the band.
Taylor Swift will appear on Eras Tour during the 2024 European leg, and Paramore must appear there, according to the deal. Thus, no matter if the band breaks now, the members must come together for other contracts.
Some Reddit users consider it an exaggerated issue because the band hinted at the same issue in 2022 to The Guardian, and Hayley expressed her wish to see what all band members would do without Paramore.
Old fans know what the band went through over the years, but new fans do not. Thus, the latter are prone to a panic attack. Moreover, the band only mentioned the uncertainty instead of announcing their separation, which means the panicked fans should not conclude anything.
Wiping Paramore’s existence on the internet does not mean Hayley must take her own accounts down, but she did. Thus, it can be a publicity stunt, as guessed by the band’s old fans.
Paramore’s History
Hayley Nichole Williams, Paramore’s lead vocalist, and Zac Farro, an American musician, and Paramore’s drummer, formed the band in 2004. Taylor York joined them in 2007 as a guitarist.
