Paramore Adding Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost) on Drums for Upcoming UK & European Tour 2013 

Paramore and Underoath fans got a bit excited (or nervous) when a mysterious picture surfaced on Aaron Gillespie's instagram page (posted above of a Underoath road case with Paramore now written on it). 

Aaron then cleared up that he will be officially playing drums to Paramore on UK and European upcoming tour to replace his friend and fellow drummer Miles McPherson, who unfortunately was hurt in an accident. 

Aaron wrote this message on his facebook page to let everyone know the news officially, 

"My friend Miles McPherson was unfortunately in a serious accident last week and is unable to play drums right now and Paramore has asked me to fill in for him as he heals. While I'm happy and excited to help out my friends on the road, this does mean I have to cancel the upcoming solo shows at Lifelight Festival, Ignite Conference, and Grand Horizon Center's Back To School Bash. If you're in those areas, please go check out these events as they are all awesome and worthwhile. I'll be back to hang with you guys real soon!"

So clearly this was not a planned thing, but more of a fill-in at the last minute slot. Gillespie is a fun drummer to watch, as he hits the drums real hard. It will be interesting to see the energy of the upcoming performances on video.

For anyone that doesn't know, Aaron Gillespie was the drummer for popular hardcore band Underoath from his early teens well into his 20's. He eventually parted ways with the band and started focusing on his new band, The Almost, which he sings and plays guitar. He also has been leading worship and speaking at several events in the last several years.
