On Tuesday night, at the tail end of Paramore's show at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California, Hayley Williams lost her voice and was unable
to finish the set. Luckily, an entire audience of fans was there to fill in for her during the encore.
Apparently, it would be too much to ask them to sing an entire set. On Thursday (October 1), Paramore announced they were postponing their scheduled gig at the Hollywood Palladium, and while no reason was given, it's pretty safe to assume Williams' vocal struggles had something to do with it.
"We regret to inform you that Paramore's show originally scheduled for tonight at the Hollywood Palladium will be postponed," a statement on the band's official site read. "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone. The new date and additional details will be announced shortly."
Williams has spent much of the past day tweeting about her voice — or lack thereof — writing that she was visiting a doctor for treatment on her vocal cords and thanking fans for their understanding during the Pomona gig.
"I have never felt more support nor have I been more thankful for our fans," she tweeted. "You have no idea how much your encouragement means to me."
The band has not announced a makeup date for the Hollywood show, nor have they said anything about the status of Friday night's show at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. According to Paramore's labels, Fueled by Ramen and Atlantic Records, there was no additional information available at press time.
