Williams says Paramore will "start over"

Paramore singer Hayley Williams has dismissed talk of the band splitting up.

The group cancelled their Riot! tour last month and revealed in a blog post that they were experiencing "internal issues".

Williams said that the post came when all the band members were emotional after a difficult tour.

"We wrote that blog in the airport, getting ready to come home, and we were all down.

"And I think, just like anyone's personal blog, you can sense the emotion in [our] words," Williams explained. "The first blog we posted was definitely a downer."

Paramore will continue touring next month, with Williams hoping the group can "kind of start over again".
