Emo rockers Paramore have pulled out of the U.K./Europe RIOT tour due to "a lot of internal issues that have been going on in this band for quite awhile," the band wrote on its blog.
"A lot of it started right around the time we were gearing up for the RIOT tour in the US," reads an entry attributed to the entire band. "We were able to fight through all of it for this long but unfortunately we weren't able to keep it together long enough to make it through 'til the end of this tour. We really feel that taking this time is going to give us a chance to get away and work out our personal issues at home and on our own terms. We just aren't willing to risk the life of our band over one tour."
The item adds that "maybe one day" the entire story will be revealed. In the meantime, Paramore is going to work "to get it right."
According to Paramore's publicist, the band is still on for its tour with Jimmy Eat World beginning April 1 in San Antonio, TX.
