Pare che la mancata apparizione di Anette Olzon lo scorso weekend, con la volontà della band di esibirsi ugualmente sostituendo la cantante ammalata, sia stata solo l’ultima goccia che ha fatto traboccare un vaso già pieno. Così i Nightwish liquidano la loro seconda cantante con il seguente comunicato (con effetto immediato). A sostituire Anette nelle rimanenti date del tour Americano ci sarà Floor Jansen:

"Another chapter of the NIGHTWISH story has ended today. NIGHTWISH and [singer] Anette Olzon have decided to part company, in mutual understanding, for the good of all parties involved.

In recent times it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover.

NIGHTWISH has no intention of canceling any upcoming shows, and as a result we have decided to bring in a substitute vocalist starting in Seattle on October 1. Her name is Floor Jansen (ex-AFTER FOREVER, REVAMP) from the Netherlands, and she has graciously stepped in to help us complete the ’Imaginaerum’ world tour.

We are all strongly committed to this journey, this vehicle of spirit, and we are sure that this will lead to a brighter future for everyone.

We forever remain excited about the adventures to come, and we are extremely proud of the two beautiful albums and the wonderful shows we shared together."

Anette, che già i giorni scorsi aveva espresso il suo disappunto per il famoso concerto di Denver questo Venerdí, ha poi deciso a poche ore dall’annuncio ufficiale della band, di chiudere il proprio blog ufficiale, con la seguente motivazione:

"Dear blog readers: With this I say farewell to you and this blog. This blog was a way for me, as the singer in NIGHTWISH, to keep more in touch with you, NIGHTWISH fans. Now when this chapter has ended, there is no more need for me to do this blog and from today I close it.

I want to thank you all for being my readers for so many years, for your loving support and I wish you all a happy and healthy life! Stay kind to others and live life easy!

Lots of love, Anette Olzon (from now on just Anette Olsson;=)"
