Hayley Forced Members Out of Paramore?

(Rock AAA) Paramore founding members Josh and Zac Farro say they were forced out of the band after years of label and management backing singer Hayley Williams in battles for control.

And they say the band's most recent album, Brand New Eyes, was not a project which brought the members closer together � it was actually the catalyst for the brothers' departure. News of the split broke at the weekend via Paramore's website. The band said: "For the last year it hasn't seemed as if Josh and Zac wanted to be around any more. We want them to be happy and if that isn't here with us, we support them in finding happiness elsewhere."

But the Farros say their feelings are much stronger than that � and they'd been upset about the band's direction since soon after Williams joined in 2002, although they were too young and inexperienced to know what to do about it.
