Band calls in replacement...

Paramore guitarist Josh Farro has announced via his blog that he will not be joining the band on their upcoming tour dates due to "marriage commitments".

Farro will be replaced by fellow Paramore guitarist Taylor York's brother Justin. The temporary line-up debuts tomorrow night in Osaka. Paramore have Asian and US dates scheduled through May.

"Weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything," Farro, recently engaged, explained. "Because of that I will not be joining the guys on the Pacific rim tour coming up. The band has been extremely supportive and gracious to me about all of this which has made it a lot easier. Justin York, Taylor's brother, will be filling in for me as a favor. He's an awesome dude, you all will love him… I will be back soon!"

Farro mentions the "Pacific Rim" tour, which presumably wraps up in the Philippines on March 9th. Paramore returns to the States on April 26th.
