Paramore address break up, pregnancy rumours

After revealing very little in a post addressing their recent tour cancellation, popular act Paramore have directly addressed the wealth of rumours which sprang from the incident. In an MTV interview, the band explained:

We've been posting blogs to our LiveJournal and talking to our fans that way for years now, and it's always been something that's been really fun for us. But now it's crazy, because I'll post something, and it's all over the place. It's really funny how things have escalated, and how people make a huge deal out of the tiniest things. We were coming home, we canceled a week of shows, and then the next thing you know, I'm pregnant.

We tried to be as honest as we could with it, without giving our life stories, and it definitely did come back to bite us, but in the end, it was the best thing for us to do, to communicate with our fans that we needed time. We needed time to come home and catch our breath. It's been a long year, ever since Riot! came out, it's just been nonstop. And that's not to say that it hasn't also been the time of our lives, but there comes a time when you really have to do something for yourself for once. And that's what we had to do. We didn't like canceling shows, but that's what it took; to go home and kind of start over again.
