Hayley Williams “Wanted to Not Be Here” Amid Mental Health Struggles | E! News
Haley Williams is getting real about her mental health. The Paramore singer opens up about the emotional turmoil she went through after the band’s founding members Josh Pharaoh and Zack Pharaoh left the band in 2010, noting that she and remaining member Taylor York channeled the feelings into their self-titled 2013 album song Last Hope. Haley explains during an appearance on the Good Hang with Amy Polar podcast December 1st. I remember writing it and thinking, “This is so sad. Unfortunately, it is how I feel. I’ve really struggled with my mental health and wanted to not be here plenty of times.” As she puts it, that song kind of expressed that moment for me. But while the song used to remind Haley of an extremely low point in her life, it has taken on a new meaning when she, Taylor, and Zach, who rejoined the band in 2017, perform it for fans. She says on the pod, “Having that moment at a Paramore show and feeling like everyone in the room has survived so many things. We’re all here. Half of us will never see each other again.” It really does something to those types of songs. [Music]

This is, by far, the weakest generation that has ever lived… What a joke!!!
But at least Zac Farro had a change of heart and rejoined the band back in 2017
She would be much happier if she were married now with children of her own. She has more than enough money to support that.
