Nightwish and Anette Olzon Part Ways
by JonathanBarkan
October 01, 2012

In a somewhat shocking bit of news, Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish has parted ways with its singer Anette Olzon.

The band has released an official statement, which can be read below, in which they explain the situation as well as state that no live shows will be cancelled. It has been announced that they will be using temporary singer Floor Jansen (ReVamp).

“Another chapter of the Nightwish story has ended today. Nightwish and 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 cancelling any upcoming shows, and as a result we have decided to bring in a substitute vocalist starting in Seattle 1.10.2012. Her name is Floor Jansen from The Netherlands (ex-After Forever, ReVamp), 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.”

What?? First Tarja, now Anette??

Wow. This is getting a little crazy.

I thought they were supposed to be on tour. I wonder who will replace her now.

The article did say that no live shows are being canceled and Floor Jansen (ReVamp) will be the temporary lead vocalist.
