Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis quits
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 16 December 2015
Paramore have announced the departure of original bassist Jeremy Davis, leaving vocalist Hayley Williams and guitarist Taylor York as a duo.
In a statement, the band said: “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”.
This is not the first departure of members of Paramore, of course. Founder guitarist and drummer Josh and Zac Farro quit somewhat acrimoniously in 2010. With Davis gone, that leaves Williams the only original member of the group.
But there’s no time to think about all that. There’s the Paramore cruise coming up – Parahoy, as they’ve called it – which is in March. So, actually, there’s plenty of time to think about it. Think away!
