Paramore Forced To Cancel Remaining Stops On US Tour Due To Hayley Williams’ Illness
In a disappointing turn of events, Paramore fans will have to wait a bit longer to catch the band in action as they announce the cancellation of their final stops on the North American tour. Hayley Williams, the lead singer of the popular band, took to Instagram stories on August 9th to share the unfortunate news.
The tour, which had already faced setbacks earlier, including the postponement of four dates last month due to Hayley Williams‘ battle with a lung infection, had hoped to continue after the singer’s recovery. However, it seems that her health has taken a toll once again. After performing at a rescheduled show in Seattle on August 9th, Williams revealed that her lungs are not healing as quickly as expected.
“It got a little scary tonight,” Williams wrote, addressing her fans on Instagram. She expressed her disappointment and concern for her fans who were eagerly awaiting the upcoming shows. Williams shared that an official statement would be released soon by the team, but she personally felt the need to inform her followers about the situation.
