Paramore Stars Leaves Band To Plan Wedding

Paramore guitarist Josh Farro has temporarily left the band in order to plan his wedding.

Farro, who described his fiancée as “the most amazing woman”, won't be touring with the group on the Pacific rim leg of their world tour.

Instead, he will be replaced by Justin York – the brother of band mate Taylor.

In a statement on Paramore's website, the guitarist said: “As some of you already know, I am engaged!

“So, as weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything.”

He added: “I know it's strange having someone 'fill in' for me. I don't like it any more than you guys do, but this is the most important thing in the world to me and I trust you all will understand.”

Farro will be absent for dates in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines and Singapore.
