Paramore's Josh Farro: "We've always been treated as less important than Hayley Williams"

Brothers Josh and Zac Farro, former Paramore band members are now speaking out about their departure to the band and also criticizing the band’s lead singer Hayley Williams.

Josh gave a statement on his blog, saying:

"We've always been treated as less important than Hayley… We toured for two and a half years building our fanbase, pretending to be a band that started naturally.

"In reality, what started as natural somehow morphed into a manufactured product of a major label, riding on the coattails of 'Hayley's dream'."

In their latest record, Josh said:

"We fought her about how her lyrics misrepresented our band and what we stood for, but in the end, she got her way. Instead of fighting her any longer, we decided to just roll over and let it go."

He added: "Hayley claimed that this record reunited us as [a] band and made us grow closer together, when in reality, we were all growing further apart."

Despite initial reports that the blog post was fake, but Josh’s wife has confirmed that the statement was real.

Two Paramore's Members Quit; Hayley Williams:" we support them finding happiness elsewhere.”

Josh and Zac Farro, two founding members of the band Paramore has decided to say goodbye to the group and will now pursue their own career path.

The remaining members Hayley Williams, Jeremy Davis and Taylor York wrote in their official website:

“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.”

The solid three are hoping for the continues support of their fans and they are encouraging their fans to join them in their new journey.

“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."
