Paramore cancels last two shows of North American tour after frontwoman Hayley Williams’ body ‘just gave out’ due to lung infection

Paramore has canceled the remainder of its North American tour due to illness.

Frontwoman Hayley Williams, 34, has been trying to soldier on with a lung infection, which forced the This Is Why group to postpone four shows after the 34-year-old singer’s body ‘just gave out’ after she initially tried to battle through.

However, after completing two of the rescheduled concerts in San Francisco on Monday, August 7, and Seattle on Wednesday, August 9 — which Williams said ‘got a little scary,’ the band was forced to pull the plug on its shows at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland tonight (August 10) and the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Sunday, August 13.

The scheduling tumult came after Williams and her bandmates had previously spiced up one of their concerts in July by bringing out Billie Eilish as a special guest for a show in Los Angeles.

In a statement on her Instagram Stories, Hayley said: ‘Hey everybody, we just got off stage in Seattle. After speaking with our team and my doc, I know that trying to finish this tour is now going to come at a detriment to my health.

Time off: Paramore has canceled the last two shows of its North American tour in Portland, Oregon, and Salt Lake City, Utah; (L–R) Zac Farro, Hayley Williams and Taylor York seen in 2017

Medical leave: Hayley said her doctor had advised her to take some time off in an initial statement posted to her Instagram

‘My lungs are just not healing quickly enough to keep up. It got a little scary tonight.’

She continued: ‘We will have the team post an official statement ASAP but we are going to have to cancel the last 2 shows of the tour so I can get better finally. I know some of you are camping in Portland already so I just wanted to get this out there.

‘I’m so sorry for all the chaos this has caused some of you. I really tried to kick this shit. Love you all,’ she concluded.

In addition to Williams on lead vocals, Paramore also features guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro.

In a subsequent official statement posted to the band’s Twitter account, she wrote that she had been ‘doing everything I can to fight this infection so we wouldn’t have to disappoint anyone with more news of postponements and cancelations.’

She added that she was ‘risking long-term damage’ if she didn’t immediately stop performing and take time to heal. 

Refunds will be available to ticket holders at their point of purchase. 

The songstress recently hit back at the ‘internet bros’ who criticized her for postponing shows.

Health struggle: 'My lungs are just not healing quickly enough to keep up. It got a little scary tonight,' she added; seen in February in Phoenix, Arizona

One user went as far as to share a misogynistic post calling the singer the C-word, in which they also claimed that if Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, 54, can break his leg onstage and continue to perform, Hayley should be able to carry on.

They tweeted: ‘b****es about how hard [touring] is at 34 … Dave f****** Grohl, falls off stage, breaks his leg and returns to finish set in wheel chair at 50 odd years of age… she’s a winey hypocrite c*** [sic].’

Hayley reacted to the post and proceeded to reveal she had a lung infection that prevented her from being able to sing properly.

She responded: ‘I have a lung infection you soft s***! Not a broken limb. One you can sing with for 2 hours, another you cant.

‘But worry not! The shows weren’t canceled, merely postponed a week [sic].’

She then added a final dig at the rude poster: ‘Maybe you should come out to one of them… like Dave did.’

Hayley went on to write another post calling out those who pit female artists against their male counterparts.

‘Internet bros have been pressed by my proximity to rock music and all its subgenres since 2005. The only thing that’s changed is the platform from which they spew their ignorance,’ she moaned. 

Standing up for herself: The songstress recently hit back at the 'internet bros' who criticized her for postponing shows; seen in 2017 in Carson, Calif.

Graceful response: She clarified that her lung infection made it harder to sing that Dave Grohl's broken leg in a response to a user who wrote a misogynistic post calling her the C-word

‘Don’t think for a second your fav bands — metal or punk or otherwise — endorse your weird incel a** lifestyle.

She added: ‘So many of these bands have stood side stage at our shows and treat us with respect. Why? bc they aren’t threatened by a strong woman front[ing] a great band in a completely diff genre of music.

‘Crying from laughing at myself I love when I have so so so much time [sic],’ she concluded.

In a subsequent post responding to someone who compared her work ethic unfavorably to Metallica and Iron Maiden, Hayley shot back: ‘Neither James [Hetfield] NOR Bruce [Dickinson] are gonna suck your **** for this, LOVE.’
