Finland's NIGHTWISH have 게시됨 the following message on the band's official website:
Dear Tarja,
It's time to choose whether the story of NIGHTWISH ends here 또는 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 당신 and Marcelo any longer. During the last 년 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 년 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 음악 from the heart, because of friendship and the 음악 itself. The mental satisfaction should always be 더 많이 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 더 많이 important. 당신 feel that 당신 have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for NIGHTWISH, rather than thinking what it has given to you.
This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things 당신 said 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 당신 only one day's warning in advance". I can't simply write any 더 많이 songs for 당신 to sing.
당신 have said yourself that 당신 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 당신 as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.
당신 told us that no matter what, the 다음 Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the 불, 화재 burns. So there's no sense in doing that 다음 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, 당신 said that 당신 will never tour again for 더 많이 than two weeks at a time. 당신 also said 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 의해 the fact that 당신 didn't participate in writing/arranging songs, 당신 never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour 당신 always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that 당신 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 의해 the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were 더 많이 important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which 당신 wanted to 취소하기 because 당신 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 당신 we can't take care of those duties anymore.
Deep within we don't know which one of 당신 drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed 당신 from the lovely girl 당신 were into a diva, who doesn't think 또는 act the way she used to. 당신 are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.
It's obvious that 당신 blame your stress and misery on us four. And 당신 think we don't respect 또는 listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards 당신 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. 당신 were always the only one who wanted 더 많이 money from the shows.
This "compensation and 더 많이 money from everything" –attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!
We wish that from now on 당신 will listen to your 심장 instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and 사랑 is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.
This decision is not something we are especially proud of but 당신 gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made 의해 us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled 의해 talking.
All the best for your life and career,
Tuomas

Ps. This is an open letter for everybody."
The band recorded their "End Of An Era" live album yesterday evening in Hartwall-Arena, Helsinki.
