There are moments when you can’t think straight because you were not expecting such a change to happen. A few hours ago Paramore posted a new official statement informing that Jeremy Davis left the band. Five years after the Farro brothers departure, Jeremy Davis decided to move on and close one musicial chapter in his life.

It isn’t an easy note to read, especially when you know how many years he spent in Paramore and how incredible album cycle with Hayley and Taylor he has just closed. But Paramore, now as Hayley and Taylor, will continue.

Jeremy, wish you all the best and we are going to miss the Pressure flip so badly! Take care of yourself and keep the DJ’ing on fire!

An official note from Paramore

These last few years have held some of the most fulfilling moments we’ve had yet… as people, as friends, and as a band. The Self-Titled era was one that we knew would be important for us but also one we’d eventually have to move on from. In moving forward, there is growth, pain, and change… and sometimes the change is not at all what you hoped for. We’ve written and re-written this countless times and there’s just not a good way to put it… Jeremy is no longer going to be in the band with us. To be honest, this has been really painful. After taking time to consider how to move forward, we ultimately found that we really do believe Paramore can and should continue on. And so we will.

We’re really thankful for the people who have helped see us through hard times before and what we’ve discovered is that those people are just as much a part of this as we will ever be. We’re hopeful for Paramore’s future and we’re also excited for what Jeremy’s going to do next. Thank you all for your support and your belief in us. It’s kept us going. We will see some of you really soon on Parahoy. If you’re not coming on the cruise, we will still see you in 2016.
