Say it isn't so!
Press statement
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.
- NIGHTWISH & Anette Olzon

This saddened me when I heard it. I have been a fan of Nightwish since the very beginning and always loved Anette.
Now I am curious who will be the next singer for Nightwish. They probably won't make that decision until after their tour.

I thought I was the only Nightwish fan here!
Yes, I was upset when I heard this too. I've loved Nightwish for years and Anette was my favorite. I miss her already!

No, not the only Nightwish fan. They have been touring the States this year, have you been to their concert?

I've been seeing a lot about this band recently but to be honest I've never listened to a single song by them. Any recommendations for the beginner?

If you are interested in Nightwish, you may want to listen to thier newest album Imaginarium.
It will be the last album featuring Anette Olzin.

Imaginarium's my recommendation if you do, Wraith - it's their freshest sound!

One of the greatest albums of Tarja - not as great as Century Child, but close

I agree, Dot. That video is very fitting to the song.
This is my favorite Ghost Love Score
