Finland's NIGHTWISH have diposting the following message on the band's official website:
Dear Tarja,
It's time to choose whether the story of NIGHTWISH ends here atau 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 anda and Marcelo any longer. During the last tahun 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 tahun do not belong in the same band.
We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done musik from the heart, because of friendship and the musik itself. The mental satisfaction should always be lebih important than money! Nightwish is a band, it's an emotion.
To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much lebih important. anda feel that anda have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for NIGHTWISH, rather than thinking what it has diberikan to you.
This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things anda berkata to me in an airplane in Toronto: "I don't need NIGHTWISH anymore." and "Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving anda only one day's warning in advance". I can't simply write any lebih songs for anda to sing.
anda have berkata yourself that anda are merely a "guest musician" in Nightwish. Now that visit ends and we will continue NIGHTWISH with a new female vocalist.
We're sure this is an equally big relief to anda as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.
anda told us that no matter what, the selanjutnya Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the api burns. So there's no sense in doing that selanjutnya album with you, either.
The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It´s all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, anda berkata that anda will never tour again for lebih than two weeks at a time. anda also berkata that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small.
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. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don't match mine.
We were never bothered oleh the fact that anda didn't participate in writing/arranging songs, anda never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour anda always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that anda are an undisputable front image of the band.
We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed oleh the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were lebih important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out tampil in Oslo, which anda wanted to batal because anda needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn't think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.
NIGHTWISH is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With anda we can't take care of those duties anymore.
Deep within we don't know which one of anda drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed anda from the lovely girl anda were into a diva, who doesn't think atau act the way she used to. anda are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.
It's obvious that anda blame your stress and misery on us four. And anda think we don't respect atau listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards anda as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. anda were always the only one who wanted lebih money from the shows.
This "compensation and lebih money from everything" –attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!
We wish that from now on anda will listen to your jantung instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and cinta is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.
This decision is not something we are especially proud of but anda gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made oleh us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled oleh talking.
All the best for your life and career,
Tuomas
Emppu Jukka Marco
Ps. This is an open letter for everybody."
The band recorded their "End Of An Era" live album yesterday evening in Hartwall-Arena, Helsinki.
