TIMO KOTIPELTO Comments On STRATOVARIUS Departure - Dec. 9, 2003
Former
STRATOVARIUS vocalist
Timo Kotipelto has posted the following message on his web site regarding his
departure from the group:
"Maybe you have seen in it on the
STRATOVARIUS homepage (or read it somewhere else), that [drummer]
Jörg [
Michael] and I are no longer members of the band. That is unfortunately true.
"I (might) give my comment about it later. At the moment I don't have enough energy for that.
"I want to sincerely thank all the people who bought those
STRATOVARIUS albums (and my own
'Waiting for the Dawn') that I am on.
"Also a big THANK YOU for the excellent and memorable live experiences I've had a chance to share with you! I will never forget those. A hello to all those cool people I have met during these years!
"At the moment I am concentrating only on my new album. I thank everybody for those posts on my guestbook. I am sorry but I don't have enough time to reply them all. But I DO read them all!
"Thank you for your support!
"Rock on!
