Re: Evanescence bass player quits..
With the band releasing a new album in just over three months, bassist William Boyd left Evanescence last month.
Frontwoman Amy Lee broke the news to the band's fans late Thursday in a post to the Evanescence online message board. "A few weeks ago, Will decided to leave the band," she wrote. "He said that he just can't go through with another huge tour right now, and wants to stay a little closer to his family instead."
Lee said that touring "is hard -- you kind of have to sacrifice your life for it. So we can all understand." She added that Evanescence "love Will very much," and that they collectively wish him "nothing but happiness in everything he does. We've been playing music together since I was in junior high. I miss him already."
Fear not, Lee wrote: The departure won't affect the band beyond the annoyance of searching for and hiring Boyd's replacement. Evanescence's forthcoming album, The Open Door, will still be in stores October 3, and the band's to-be-announced touring plans will not be derailed.
