As many Paramore fans know, it’s been four years since Hayley and the gang released their last self-titled album, before finally releasing their newest recordย After Laughterย this year. Paramore even has two new bangin’ singles to show for it, “Hard Times” and “Told You So”.
But during the period when the band wasn’t making any new music, Hayley revealed that she battled depression and almost quit Paramore!
In an interview with Fader,ย the 28-year-old singer revealed that it was somewhere in the summer of 2015 that she thought about leaving the music scene for good:
I just was done. I thought, Thereโs gotta be something else that Iโm good at in my life. Maybe itโs time for me to go find that.
We both had doubts, and we had unity in that. I told her she didnโt have to do stuff. But I just kept writing, and then there was this time that she got it again.
