Paramore have began work on their new album lead singer Hayley Williams has revealed.

The follow-up to 2009's 'Brand New Eyes' will be the first without Josh and Jack Farro who quit the band earlier this month.

Lead singer Hayley Williams posted the news on her Twitter account: "Tonight @itstayloryall sent me the first official demo for me to write lyrics to. And I am so hopeful and motivated for the future! (sic)."

Paramore are currently due to return to the road for a month-long tour of South American in February next year.

Meanwhile, Williams has spoken for the first time about a naked photo of her that appeared online earlier this year.
