On doctor's orders, Paramore's Hayley Williams said Thursday (Aug. 10) that it would be a detriment to her health to continue with the last two concerts of Paramore's current tour leg in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday and in Salt Lake City on Aug. 13.

Paramore have canceled those two shows.

Williams is currently dealing with a lung infection that had already caused Paramore to postpone a few dates on their current North American tour behind their latest, February's This Is Why.

But Paramore returned to the road this week, playing in Seattle on Wednesday (Aug. 9). Paramore are scheduled to return to the road later this year and into next.

However, Oregon and Salt Lake will have to wait a little while longer for their next Paramore shows, judging by what Williams explained in an Instagram Story early on Thursday morning.

"Hey everybody, we just got off stage in seattle," the Paramore singer writes. "After speaking with our team and my doc, I know that trying to finish this tour is now going to come at a detriment to my health. My lungs are just not healing quickly enough to keep up. It got a little scary tonight."

She continues, "We will have the team post an official statement ASAP but we are going to have to cancel the last 2 shows of the tour so I can get better, finally. I know some of you are camping in Portland already so I just wanted to get this out there."

Williams adds, "I'm so sorry for all the chaos this has caused some of you. I really tried to kick this shit. Love you all."

As promised, Paramore followed the singer's update with an official statement reiterating the same sentiment later on Thursday. "I'm now risking long term damage and I need to pay attention to my body," Williams said in the official statement. See it in full below. Refunds for the canceled Paramore shows will be available at point of purchase.
