Last November, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams teased the return of the group in 2022.
The singer, who released her debut solo album ‘Petals For Armor‘ in 2020 and its follow-up ‘Flowers For Vases / Descansos‘ earlier this year, hinted at her band’s comeback in a newsletter sent out on November 26.
“Before I go, thank y’all so much for the incredible support these last couple years. I know we didn’t get to properly come together to sing and vent and sweat it all out…but I do think that Petals and descansos lived exactly the lives they were meant to. Besides, Paramore can’t be ‘on a break’ forever now can we?” she wrote.
Williams rounded off the newsletter with; “I love y’all. See you sometime next year?”
Paramore last released an album, ‘After Laughter‘, in 2017 and performed some live shows in support of it.
