Zac Farro confirms return to Paramore for new album
"There’s no hard feelings and it’s just been rad and fun," he says
Zac Farro has revealed that he’s playing drums on Paramore’s upcoming new album.
Back in June, Paramore posted an Instagram video of themselves in the studio with Zac on drums prompting fans to speculate that he’s a permanent member of Paramore once again.
Adding fuel to the rumours, the band then posted a pic of Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen eating food in a restaurant with Zac.
Now, less than six years on from his amicable departure from Paramore, Zac has confirmed they’ve enlisted his services again, however he’s not a permanent member.
Speaking to Idobi, Zac said: "They’ve asked me to play drums on their album, on their new album. So (Hayley) put it on their Instagram and put it on their website, and it’s no joke that I’m back just playing drums for them on their album alongside with doing my HalfNoise stuff.
“That’s it, and that’s literally all it is right now. No one’s really asked cause I’ve kind of deterred the question, but I’m doing HalfNoise – that’s my band. They’ve asked me to drum, and it was like, ‘Yeah, of course!’
“We’ve always been friends, and yeah, there was a little bit of weirdness cause I left the band for a few years, but all that stuff is not even there anymore and there’s no hard feelings and it’s just been rad and fun."
Hayley Williams first announced that Paramore were in the process of writing their fifth studio album back in January. It’s not yet clear when it will see the light of day.
