Nightwish singer Anette Olzon who recently launched her own web site at www.anette-olzon.com. is alleged having problems with the band regarding Nightwish's recent three-months break from touring. Anette reply, "At the moment, we don't have any problems. I think any group, working group, can have, after being together for a while, there will be this conflict state — every group has it; it's important for the evolvement of the group, and I think we need it. The problem wasn't that we had a problem, it was that we were so, so tired. All of us. There was no rest last year. [And now] we are all happy. We are very happy."
To manage this problem, Annette recently hired a personal manager and stated "It was a hard decision for me because I didn't want problems with the band. I said that I have different needs in these areas than the rest of the guys. I, for example, need clothing sponsors which doesn't interest the rest of the band. Now I have a person who will be able to take care of that kind of stuff ''.
Interview with Nightwish keyboardist/mainman Tuomas Holopainen revealed that Anette's divorce also one of the factor that lead this frenzy problem occurs. Tuomas replied, "She has told me a couple of times that she might not be able to handle it, on top of her divorce. I've seen her close to collapse and it has scared me, so we are protecting her. There will be no more interviews."
He added "At the beginning I had a feeling of déjà vu," he replied. "But when we discussed it I understood that she needs somebody who speaks her own language [Swedish]. Her manager is a very, very reasonable guy." Will Anette Olzon become the second singer leaving Nightwish after Tarja Turunen? I hope not.
