Paramore Recruit Aaron Gillespie For Fall Tour

posted in: Music News • Pop • Rock

Paramore have revealed that former Underoath drummer and current Almost frontman Aaron Gillespie will be drumming for the band on their upcoming fall tour.

Taking to Twitter yesterday, Paramore shed light on the question of who would be the latest music industry notable to play drums. Fans may recall that longtime drummer Zac Farro left the band in 2010 and they have lacked a permanent drummer ever since. Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin has filled in, but with Nine Inch Nails touring this fall, they had to find another replacement.

Gillespie’s band, The Almost, released an album through Tooth And Nail earlier this year. The group has yet to comment on Gillespie’s decision to join Paramore for the fall, but we’ll update you if anything develops further.
