Paramore Cancel Two US Gigs Following Hayley Williams Illness

However, the band are still expected to co-headline Reading & Leeds with QOTSA later this month...

Thursday, August 7, 2014 - 17:00

Paramore were forced to cancel two shows in Texas after leading lady Hayley Williams was diagnosed with a chest infection and exhaustion.

Williams made the announcement on their official website after gigs in Corpus Christi and Dallas on August 4 and 5 were scrapped.

The Still Into You singer said in the statement: "Words in this tiny little message cannot begin to express my frustration, sadness and overall loopiness (the latter is likely just from the cortisone and antibiotics, ugh).

"I absolutely hate cancelling anything. Admitting defeat is a tough thing for this gal... Thanks for understanding as much as you can. Of course, any frustration on your part is totally understandable. I'm thankful for all the 'get well soon's and all the love I've seen online."

Hayley went on to add that she expects to return to the stage in Albuquerquetonight (August 7), adding: "As for the rest of the tour, it is still on. Doctor thinks I'll be good to go."

Can't count the years on one hand
that we've been together
I need the other one to hold you,
make you feel, make you feel better
It's not a walk in the park to love each other
But when our fingers interlock,
can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

'Cause after all this time
I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies...
but I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights...
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time...
I'm still into you

Recount the night
that I first met your mother
And on the drive back to my house
I told you that, I told you that I loved ya
You felt the weight of the world fall off
your shoulder
And to your favorite song,
we sang along to the start of forever

And after all this time
I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies...
but I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights...
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time...
I'm still into you

Some things just,
some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I
Some things just, some things just make sense
And even after all this time

I'm into you
Baby, not a day goes by that I'm not into you

I should be over all the butterflies...
but I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights...
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time...
I'm still into you

I'm still into you
I'm still into you
