Bassist verlaat Paramore
Jeremy Davis heeft besloten zijn rol van bassist voor Paramore achter zich te laten. In een statement wordt aangegeven dat de aanleiding hiervoor de algehele veranderingen in de band zijn. Davis (links op de foto) was onderdeel van Paramore sinds de oprichting in 2005 en heeft alle vier studioalbums bijgedragen.
Hiermee blijven zangeres Haley Williams en gitarist Taylor York de enige overgebleven leden. De twee hebben bij de bekendmaking van het vertrek ook aangegeven dat niet niet het einde is voor de band.
Lees hieronder het complete bericht wat verscheen op de Paramore Facebook pagina:
“These last few years have held some of the most fulfilling moments we’ve had yet… as people, as friends, and as a band. The Self-Titled era was one that we knew would be important for us but also one we’d eventually have to move on from. In moving forward, there is growth, pain, and change… and sometimes the change is not at all what you hoped for. We’ve written and re-written this countless times and there’s just not a good way to put it… Jeremy is no longer going to be in the band with us. To be honest, this has been really painful. After taking time to consider how to move forward, we ultimately found that we really do believe Paramore can and should continue on. And so we will.
We’re really thankful for the people who have helped see us through hard times before and what we’ve discovered is that those people are just as much a part of this as we will ever be. We’re hopeful for Paramore’s future and we’re also excited for what Jeremy’s going to do next. Thank you all for your support and your belief in us. It’s kept us going. We will see some of you really soon on Parahoy. If you’re not coming on the cruise, we will still see you in 2016.”
