Bullshit from beginning to end: Jukka left drumming but didn't leave Nightwish - he is now the CEO of their company. Anette's dismissal had nothing to do with her health, only with her behavior. Tarja played almost 100 concerts on her first solo tour, not much less than it was in Nightwish. And without any problems with her voice. Floor had cancer, but she recovered and soon returned to performing. Nightwish didn't say they wouldn't tour anymore, just that they were taking a break. And it is known that Floor was against it, so it has nothing to do with her.

@@SokolRock Don't bullshit me, too many health problems in this band. Jukka is still there but he It has nothing to do with music or concerts, only business. Anette's dismissal had anything to do with her health despite Nightwish claims "split with Anette wasn't because of pregnancy or illness". She was hospitalized due to illness during the concert held on September 2012 and one month later she was replaced with Floor. Once upon a Tour had 130 shows, sometime they had two shows without one day break between. Century Child Tour: 5 September 2003 Atlanta US, 6 September Montreal Ca, 7 September New York, easy, right? On Nightwish official page they say "hanging up our spurs for an indeterminate time, as far as live concert performances go, and won't be touring the next album. The reasons for this decision are personal, but, we all agree" So? Floor was against it but all agree. PS I love NW and I listen their music almost every day but something is not right there.

@@user-wo8gt1xg5n If you really loved Nightwish, you wouldn't be trying to create all sorts of stupid conspiracy theories like "it's not safe to work in Nightwish." And you would also know from later interviews with the band members that they are taking a temporary break from touring, not stopping it indefinitely.

@@SokolRock The stupid conspiracy theory is your conclusion at my post, and the temporary break from touring is for an indeterminate time. Sorry I'm not an English speaker but for me indeterminate time is closer to indefinitely than temporary. There will be no Yesterwinde tour, Nighwish official declaration. So let's hope for the next album in 2028-2030 when concerts will start again.

Those who are the best in sports, music, etcetera, aren't usually the nicest people. You need a mental edge to be better than everybody else.

There is no evidence that Tuomas is an "asshole." On the contrary, his colleagues, not only from Nightwish, speak highly of him. And in both "dramas" with former singers, the members of Nightwish were on his side - and not just agreed with him "so as not to lose their jobs", but expressed their own opinion why those singers were wrong. Including Marko.

@SokolRock they were wrong with tarja .they even admitted all of them. Marko had some problems too. And to answer more to your question... either anyone had said anything bad for tarja. The conclusion. Only they know the truth. Not us. Most of us take sides who we like the most. That is human nature.

Maybe it was something more that we don’t know?

​There are enough words from Marco and other NW members to see he cut them all off completely and burnt bridges when he left. I hope they reconcile - especially with Floor who only ever called him a brother. It is really great to see him happy though and performing again.

Sounds to me, he cut just about everyone out of his life for his sanity. As he said he was in a dark place and just wanted to start over. He then got properly diagnosed and started the healing process. Now that he feels a bit better, he looks back and feels somewhat guilty for leaving the band in such a tough spot and has thoughts that they are mad at him. I'm sure they weren't pleased at the time with all the commitment they made, but they got things resolved, and time heals all wounds. I'm sure the band probably feels that Marko needs his own space and not to bug him so neither of them reach out to each other. Hopefully one day they will cross paths and talk things out so they can be friends/brothers again. It would be amazing if Marko ever decides or gets asked to do some guest shows with Nightwish again.

If you have ever been depressed enough to know it's life threatening (and he said in another interview he had thought about walking out on thin ice on an autumn night), you'd understand the only way to come back out of it is to pull away from almost everything and everybody and concentrate on finding out why it's happening and how it can be fixed. You have no energy or emotional resources for anything else. He also said in this interview that he sent a note of encouragement to Floor when he found out about her breast cancer. Those lines of communication have not been permanently cut. Pulling a life back together with needed changes when there is a strong emotional component and having to deal with the ongoing struggles of having ADHD requires time and patience, and the progression isn't linear (I speak from experience). Tarja and Marko have renewed their friendship, and the bond seems to be stronger now. To me, that bodes well for Marko and Nightwish as well.

@@jewfish68 I think Marko is also making a deliberate stance to not throw out the idea of playing with Nightwish again, so that the current bassist Jukka isn't put in a bad spot. I believe and hope that some day he can at least guest sing with the band some day in the future. He and Floor together vocally were utter magic!

Comments like yours make me very happy. That's what I work for, trying to be an increasingly better journalist. Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate everyone taking the time to watch my content. Sharon is fantastic, and I've been fortunate enough to interview her three times in the past two years - even with my "very poor" english. :)
