    Over the past 6 years, our band has been through some of the most intense and incredible experiences of our lives. None of these things have been without trial. We've worked so hard to get to where we are and the fact that you are all still here with us says something about you that we will never be able to truly understand. You have stuck with us through thick and thin and we are so grateful. A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn't here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere. But we never for a second thought about leaving any of this behind. We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together. You have always been what keeps us going so why would we stop now? We want to stick by you. Knowing that we have a unified passion and a clear vision makes us feel stronger than ever.

    The "blog" that was posted regarding everything that is going on with our band was a fake. We aren't sure who did it or why... And we aren't sure how they timed it this way. This is the first time that we have spoken out about what's going on and we wouldn't have released an official statement that important through a personal blog. So, we're sorry for any confusion and just to remain clear, this is the first time we have spoken out about this.

    We have some amazing things lined up for next year starting with our tour in South America. We are still coming to you and we are excited about who we are bringing with us! The tour is still on and we can't wait to see you all.

    As we look back, and now as we look with excitement to the future, in all of this what truly matters are the good times. The pictures of us with our arms around each other, the long van rides, your faces while you sing along as we play. Thank you for getting us right here to this very moment. We look forward to our best times. And we hope you will go there with us.

    Love,
    Hayley, Jeremy & Taylor
    Paramore

Without Josh and Zac Farro Paramore does not seem and sound like Paramore at all. The new album sounds different, but still cool.. and-- groovy? But might as well change the name Paramore. It's the Farros' stamp. I still love Hayley's voice.

hmm..something fishy.. "The "blog" that was posted regarding everything that is going on with our band was a fake." It says here But on MTV news "Paramore Split Gets Nasty: Josh Farro Calls Former Band 'A Manufactured Product'" the blog statement was confirmed even by Josh's wife on her blog jennalfarro on blogspot. Tsk. Such a shame.

of course this is old news, but did anyone here read Josh's exit statement. It was horrid. Someone sent me the link on my blog in attempt to tell me that Paramore is no longer a band and how much Hayley sucks. Josh made Hayley seem so bad. In it way, he complained a lot as if Hayleys fame bothered him. I believe if he was really passionate about the band and the fans, then he would have stayed, but the Farros just went happy. I still love Hayley, just wondering about anyone else's thoughts about his exit statement..

Crap, this isn't the first time I've read this, but I just can't forget how happy I was few years ago, with all the members just fine together as always. I miss Farro brothers, but I love Jeremy, Taylor and Hayley even more than I love them, because... well, they are - now - Paramore! I will always miss them, I repeat, but Paramore is still a hell of a band! Seriously, Paramore was my first love, and I'm still in love. Come to Croatia! Love you guys, both Paramore and the fans.

I was not shocked by this news, in all groups there are times when its members go on their way to new places but somehow on this news, I cried and with difficulty typing on the keyboard now, wiping away tears at hand. Such moments are not rare, but losing just two team members .. I have no doubt that you three worried it with difficulty.

I wish I saw this sooner, it doesn't matter 5 to 3 or 5 to 3 with a dancing monkey. You guys still rock and you'll will stay as one of my favorite bands. I was never worried, Monster didn't gave me a chance. =:)>

Paramore, I will always love you guys!!! No matter who is a part of the band. Hayley, you're super talented and Taylor and Jeremy are so awesome and talented as well! Honestly, I give you props. I think you've handled this with more class than the Farro brothers, and I thank you. I also wanted to thank you for never giving up hope and sticking with it, because as a fan, you've been my favorite band for 5 or 6 years now and I will never forget you. I look forward to your upcoming album! And hopefully a concert =) Love you guys, wish you all the best!!

Everyone says the band will never be the same without the Farros and that's true. And it is a little sad at times. But, who says that is for the worst it just might be for the better? If they were having some kind of problem( who really knows whos to blame? Though it would take more than one person) the struggle would hold them back. I love the three new singles, they're amazing! I love that the band is still trying to stay together as much as the can with the three of them and are making awesome music. It shows dedication to the music and their fans.Keep it up, I will forever love Paramore until the end and even after!

One Year ago, everything is changed. *heartbroke* but it's all okay now, right? Paramore are back, stronger than before, that's all i need.
