Watch Hayley Williams Halt Paramore Show Midsong To Stop A Fight

Paramore are gearing up for a massive arena tour next year, but they're also on the road now playing clubs around North America. They've made it clear that they won't tolerate violence at their shows, and during a recent gig in Toronto Hayley Williams halted the show midway through "Caught in the Middle" to stop a fight.

“Everybody OK?” she asked the crowd after noticing a disturbance. “OK, we got a fight?"

“Oh, man. What do you guys think this is, like a Terror show?” Williams continued. “We’re not a hardcore band, bro. We’re gonna dance tonight and have fun.”

After asking if the perpetrators needed to be split up and making sure everyone was okay, the singer made a little joke. “You got me up here acting like a teacher. Detention for everyone!” she exclaimed before demanding that they “better not have to do that again”.

A concert-goer caught the whole incident on camera. Check out the footage below and see the rest of Paramore's club tour dates, as well as arena dates, below.
