PARAMORE POSTPONES NEXT WEEK'S ST. PAUL SHOW

All that angry screaming by Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has won her legions of young fans. Now it has temporarily cost the singer her voice. Williams and her band have postponed their St. Paul concert scheduled for next Friday, along with four other tour stops, because of the singer's bout with laryngitis. The makeup date at Roy Wilkins Auditorium will be Nov. 6, with the same opening acts and times. Tickets to the original show will be honored.

Williams, 20, reportedly fought her way through Paramore's tour kickoff Tuesday in Pomona, Calif., but she warned fans that her voice was suffering. Since then, she has kept them in the loop about her recuperation with Twitter reports such as, "'Naked Gun' and chicken noodle soup." Her Tennessee band's third album, "Brand New Eyes," came out Tuesday to strong iTunes sales and much fanfare.
