Paramore’s Hayley Williams shares statement after cancelling gigs: “Touring is different at 34 than it was at 16”
Paramore‘s Hayley Williams has shared a statement with fans after the band cancelled four gigs on their North American tour due to illness.Last Saturday (July 22), Paramore postponed their concert in San Francisco just hours before they were set to take the stage.They then went on to shelve three further gigs on their North American tour in Seattle, Portland, and Salt Late City “in the interest of our health and the ability to put on a show you all deserve”.Now, with the tour set to resume in Tulsa, Oklahoma tonight (July 29), Williams has addressed fans and discussed the issues with staying fit and healthy on tour.She told fans that she became ill during a Houston gig earlier this month, and “muscled all the way through [the] LA [gig].“By the time the excitement and all the nerves from all the LA shenanigans wore off, my body just gave out…” she added. “Touring is different at 34 than it was at 16, when leaving home felt like the greatest escape.“Even in my 20’s, I benefitted from the constant music.
