Paramore guitarist injures ankle on stage

Paramore star Taylor York is on crutches after injuring his ankle on stage in Australia.

The guitarist hurt himself during the band's show in Melbourne on Sunday (12Jan14), but he has refused to let the injury affect the group's ongoing tour Down Under, which concludes on 19 January (14).

After the initial incident, frontwoman Hayley Williams took to Twitter.com to assure fans the injury was not too serious, writing, "Tonight was so insane. So positive. And so loud. Thx (thanks) Melbourne!... But no great P-more (sic) show would be right w/out (without) injury. To those asking: Taylor's ok. We think it's a sprained ankle 'Part ll' (of the show) was too wild."

York has since been seen using crutches to help him walk.
