Paramore cancels Utah show due to illness

Hayley Williams said she “physically can not go on” with the Utah show.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Hayley Williams of Paramore, seen here at the UCCU Center in Orem in 2014, is recovering from an infection.

Thousands of fans were expected to attend the Paramore concert this weekend at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

Following a lung infection, Hayley Williams announced she “physically can not go on” with the Utah show that was scheduled for Aug. 13.

“I have been doing everything I can to fight this infection so we wouldn’t have to disappoint anyone with more news of postponements and cancellations,” a statement from Williams reads in part. “After struggling through the last few shows and consulting with my doctor, we’re unfortunately realizing that it’s past the point of wanting to push through to put on a good show for all of you.”

The Delta Center said ticket holders will be refunded at the point of purchase.
