Paramore’s Hayley Williams channeled her inner substitute teacher during Monday’s show in Toronto.
Williams had the band pause the show halfway through “Caught In The Middle” after a fight broke out in the audience.
After checking that everyone was okay, Williams told the crowd “We’re not a hardcore band, bro. We’re gonna dance tonight, we’re gonna have fun.”
She added “You got me up here acting like a teacher. Detention for everyone!”
Paramore’s arena tour will visit Chicago tonight and Cincinnati on Friday.
What’s the worst fight you’ve ever seen at a concert or sporting event?
