Hayley Williams was forced to stop in the middle of a Paramore performance to prevent a crowd fight from escalating.
The band was playing a gig in Toronto, Canada, and was performing the 2018 track “Caught in the Middle” when the fight broke out.
Upon noticing the scuffle, Williams immediately stopped singing and addressed the crowd. “Everybody Okay? Okay, we got a fight? Oh, man. What do you guys think this is — like, a Terror show?” She asked the audience.
She added, “We’re not a hardcore band, bro. We’re gonna dance tonight, we’re gonna have fun. You got me up here acting like a teacher. Detention for everyone!”
