Leaves Eyes:
LET THE MUSIC TALK!
Dear Fans and Friends,
we are just back from a great weekend in Indonesia. Our first show with Elina went awesome! Despite a heavy tropical storm before the gig 21.000 people showed up in front of the stage!
We understand that many fans and friends are surprised and shocked about the change in our band. We all know Liv had an important role for the band in the past, and we understand people are sad as it was not an easy decision for every one involved.
But since a lot of hateful and disrespectful comments are in the social media, we would like to take the opportunity to make some points very clear:
Leaves’ Eyes has always been a band, and not a project, nor a Liv Kristine solo project at all. We always worked as a team in Leaves’ Eyes. In the last decade Tosso and Alex wrote the music for Leaves’ Eyes and Liv took care of the lyrics.
Liv’s solo project is called „Liv Kristine“. We supported Liv also in her solo career, writing music, recording and producing albums and doing management in the past.
The decision to part ways with Liv was taken by all Leaves’ Eyes members, including Liv. A mediator – a friend of Liv and Alex – was at the band meeting who can witness that the decision of parting ways was agreed by all members. Liv was happy to have the opportunity to plan changes in her future life and she does not have to go on tour so much anymore. The idea to go separated ways came up already in January.
Elina was no part of this decision or process.
It was also agreed to help Liv for her solo project „Liv Kristine“ and record her new demo songs and her further projects at the studio just like in the past.
Please respect the privacy of Liv and Alex! Disrespectful postings and bashing is harming their family situation and their son Leon. Liv and Alex don’t want to split fans – don’t give false rumors, haters and bashers a chance!
At the moment we can’t tell you more details as legal actions are in process.
To our world wide fans who are there for the music and not the gossip: LET THE MUSIC TALK!
We are looking forward to present new material with Elina soon!
Stay tuned for news of our upcoming video clip, music and tour updates.
Rock on!
Leaves’ Eyes
PS: We will post the protocol of the band meeting by the mediator! The truth always remains.
