"Paramore Exits ALTer EGO Fest and Erases Social Media Amid Free Agency Speculation"

The band's website and social media accounts have been wiped clean, except for their Facebook page. They had to cancel a headline appearance due to scheduling conflicts, not a breakup. Paramore will be touring with Taylor Swift in Europe as part of the Eras Tour and has other festival dates planned.
