Farro to Miss Paramore Tour

Paramore guitarist Josh Farro is to miss the band's upcoming tour, so he can plan his wedding.

The newly-engaged rocker has chosen to skip a string of dates in order to stay at home in Tennessee and begin organising his nuptials with fiancee Jenna.

He will be replaced Paramore guitarist Taylor York's brother Justin.

In a post on Paramore's website, Farro writes, "As weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything. Because of that I will not be joining the guys on the Pacific rim tourcoming up.

"The band has been extremely supportive and gracious to me about all ofthis which has made it a lot easier. Justin York will be filling in for me as a favor. He's an awesome dude, you all will love him.

"Trust me, I know it's strange having someone 'fill in' for me. I don'tlike it anymore than you guys do, but this is the most important thing in the world to me and I trust you all will understand. The Lord has blessed me with the most amazing woman and for that I am eternally grateful".

The star ends his note by assuring fans the hiatus isn't permanent, adding, "I will be back soon! Don't worry! I shall see you all very soon".

The Misery Business hitmakers are due to play a handful of shows in Japan beginning later this week (10Feb10), before making stops in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
