Zanger Khan verlaat Kamelot
Roy Khan, frontman van Kamelot heeft via zijn MySpacepagina laten weten dat hij de band verlaat. Je kan zowel zijn mededeling als die van de overige bandleden hieronder lezen.
Khan: “There have been a lot of speculations around why I am not touring with Kamelot […]. It is a fact however that I told the guys in the band already last fall (well after my burnout) that I was leaving the band. Naturally enough they were shocked (as was the label and everyone else working with Kamelot). In addition to risk of dropping ticket sales they wanted to give me time to think things over, and so I did. My decision still stands; It is finished.
I am currently spending time with my family in Norway taking it easy and wondering profoundly what the future is going to bring. Communication with the outer world has been so and so, but I have had several talks with Thomas along the way although I am still called in sick. I am terribly sorry that my decision is affecting so many others and I want you to know I wish the band & associates all the best for the future and that I enjoyed every second in the spotlight. […]”
Thomas, Casey, Oliver and Sean; de overige leden van Kamelot: “With a heavy heart we can now announce that Roy Khan has chosen to leave the band. We wanted to give him ample time for this kind of decision, due to his recent burnout and also the amount of amazing times we have shared with him in Kamelot. We respectfully accept his resignation from the band and wish him the best in his future endeavors. The timing is actually good since we feel the uncertainty the fans have had can now be laid to rest and the band can move on to finding a new singer.
[…]With the new tour already in progress, Kamelot has already begun the search for a new vocalist. […] There are some amazing singers that have already contacted us on this but we will take our time to find the right person”.
