In a recent update, Paramore announced the departure of guitarist Hunter Lamb and the name of their new album title being announced tomorrow. You can read the bands message below.

Hey everyone,

First off, we wanted to take the time to apologize to all of the fans in Australia and Japan for the recent cancellation of our spot on the New Found Glory tour and the Japanese Punk Springfest. We feel absolutely terrible for this. We hope you will understand…

The past few months have brought incredible things our way and have also forced us to face some of the hardest times we’ve ever been through as a band… both professionally and personally. At some points, we had
no clue how we would all come through or if we’d even make it far enough to record the album. And even though we made our way through many of those things, we weren’t able to come through the way we had pictured it. We have parted ways with our friend and guitarst for the past year, Hunter Lamb. We wish Hunter the best in all that he does next and in his engagement and marriage. It was a blessing getting to know him on
the road and we were lucky to have him in the band with us. Obviously, we’ve been through more than a
couple member changes and we are sure it’s probably frustrating and confusing to you guys and we aren’t
really sure what more to say. Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you thought they would.

Right now, we feel really great as a four piece band. But who knows what the future might hold, as we are always full of these types of surprises. Hopefully, these changes will better prepare us for the year(s) to
come.

Thank you for always being supportive and caring about us. We love ya’ll. Stay tuned for a more positive entry… to be posted soon. Contrary to what this post might make you think, we’re actually really excited and hopeful about our future and about the Spring tour with The Almost and This Providence. What we’re most excited about, though, is the release of our sophomore record which we are going to announce the title of tomorrow!

Talk to you all very soon.

Love,
Paramore
