NIGHTWISH: Knoxville Show Cancelled
September 23, 2008Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH have been forced to cancel tonight's (September 23) concert in Knoxville, Tennessee due to singer Anette Olzon's "sudden severe illness," according to a posting on the band's web site. The group adds, "We are very, very sorry about this, there's nothing anybody can do about these things. Even though [support act] SONATA ARCTICA will play tonight, all the tickets will be fully refunded by the promoter."
NIGHTWISH released a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", on September 2. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must-have" status for all NIGHTWISH diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the "Dark Passion Play" sessions that were recorded prior to singer Anette Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.
