PARAMORE STOPS SHOW, DECLARES ‘DETENTION’ AFTER FIGHT BREAKS OUT

 

Paramore’s Hayley Williams channeled her inner substitute teacher during Monday’s show in Toronto.

Williams had the band pause the show halfway through “Caught In The Middle” after a fight broke out in the audience.

After checking that everyone was okay, Williams told the crowd “We’re not a hardcore band, bro. We’re gonna dance tonight, we’re gonna have fun.”

She added “You got me up here acting like a teacher. Detention for everyone!”

 

Paramore’s arena tour will visit Chicago tonight and Cincinnati on Friday and are coming back to Salt Lake to Vivint Arena on July 27th!
