From now on, Tarja Turunen is no longer the only former vocalist of the Finnish band Nightwish. The band decided to part ways with Anette Olzon, who joined the band in 2007 and recorded two full-length albums with them.
As a reminder, before leaving, Anette fell ill and was hospitalized, as a result of which she was replaced at a concert in Denver by two other vocalists - Elize Ryd from Amaranthe and Alissa White-Gluz from The Agonist. Olzon herself did not appreciate this "reshuffle," after which the band and the vocalist parted ways amicably.
The vocalist's departure will not affect the band's future performances. Since October 1st, Floor Jansen, known for her participation in After Forever and Revamp, has been participating in Nightwish concerts as the band's voice. Copied from Dark-World.ru. She will help the band complete their world tour in support of their latest album, "Imaginaerum."
There is a good and concise word in Russian that I really want to use, but I can't, or I'll get penalized.
I was already looking forward to seeing Anette at concerts, I had already gotten used to her, she sang well on the last album, and then this happens.
Okay, let's hope Nightwish goes back to operatic vocals. I hope Tuomas doesn't come up with an even weaker vocalist.

Regarding the reason, the official website says:
In recent times it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover.
At least there were no "farewell letters" and bye bye beautiful.
