The End of an Era
Dear Tarja,
It`s time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here or whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We`ve been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of life, something to live for, and we`re certain we can`t let it go.
Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I`ve been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don`t go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend.
People who don`t talk with each other for a year do not belong in the same band.
(...)
To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for Nightwish, (...) This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me (...): ”I don`t need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, (...) I can`t simply write any more songs for you to sing.
(...)
In interviews I`ve mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a scenery of my soul and I`m not ready to let go because of one person.
(...)
Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. Deep within we don`t know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva (...) It`s obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. (...) Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend.
(...)
We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. (...) Do not wither yourself.
This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no choice. (...) And the decision is made by us four unanimously.
All the best for your life and career,
Tuomas
Emppu Jukka Marco
Ps. This is an open letter for everybody.
OUCH!
