Paramore guitarist to sit out band’s next tour

Paramore guitarist Josh Farro will sit out the band’s upcoming tour of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines and Singapore to plan his wedding.

“As some of you already know, I am engaged!” he wrote on his blog. “So, as weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything. Because of that I will not be joining the guys on the Pacific Rim tour coming up. I feel really blessed to be able to take this time off, especially in the midst of this record cycle. The band has been extremely supportive and gracious to me about all of this which has made it a lot easier.

Farro’s replacment will be guitarist Taylor York's brother, Justin.

“He's an awesome dude, you all will love him,” Farro added. “Trust me, I know it's strange having someone ‘fill in’ for me. I don’t like it anymore than you guys do, but this is the most important thing in the world to me and I trust you all will understand.

“I will be back soon,” he added. “[So] don't worry! I love you guys. Thank you so much for all of your support and love. What you guys do for me and the band is out of this world. No one has fans like us. I shall see you all very soon."

He's not getting married, he's staying behind to plan the wedding. I doubt he would get married with his brother and best friends on tour.

he's not leaving, he's taking time out there's a difference

typical paramore unproffesional. Members of other bands get married they don't sit out of tours to plan it they wait till the band isn't on tour idiot.

Dude is whipped!

Most normal people would wait until they weren't on tour to plan the wedding. Or just leave it all to the bride as the groom isn't really gonna get a say in anything anyway.
