• Floor Jansen Breaks Down in Tears Announcing End of Nightwish Era

In an emotional and heartbreaking moment that left fans stunned, Floor Jansen tearfully announced the end of her journey with symphonic metal giants Nightwish. The revelation came during a special livestreamed Q&A session, where Jansen, visibly shaken and fighting back tears, confirmed that the band’s current chapter has come to a close.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say,” Jansen began, her voice breaking. “Nightwish has been more than a band to me — it’s been a family, a home, and a dream come true. But everything has its time, and our time, at least as we know it, is over.”

Jansen did not reveal specific details about the future of Nightwish as an entity, but she made it clear that she would no longer be part of the group moving forward. She thanked fans around the world for their unwavering support, describing them as “the heart and soul” of Nightwish’s success over the past decade.

Speculation had swirled for months regarding Nightwish’s fate after the band postponed several planned shows and tour dates earlier this year due to undisclosed reasons. Jansen’s tearful announcement appears to confirm fears that the band’s storied run is coming to an end.

Nightwish, founded in 1996 by Tuomas Holopainen, became one of the most influential symphonic metal bands in history, with Jansen joining in 2012 and bringing new life and power to their sound. Fans are now left to mourn the closing of this legendary era, while wondering what lies ahead for both Jansen and the rest of the band.

“Thank you for believing in us,” Jansen concluded. “I love you all, more than words can say.”
