Dear Tarja,
It's time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here या whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We've been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of life, something to live for, and we're certain we can't let it go.
Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with आप and Marcelo any longer. During the last साल something sad happened, which I've been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don't go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend.
People who don't talk with each other for a साल do not belong in the same band.
We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done संगीत from the heart, because of friendship and the संगीत itself. The mental satisfaction should always be और important than money! Nightwish is a band, it's an emotion.
To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much और important. आप feel that आप have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for Nightwish, rather than thinking what it has दिया to you.
This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things आप कहा to me in an airplane in Toronto: "I don't need Nightwish anymore." and "Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving आप only one day's warning in advance".
I can't simply write any और songs for आप to sing.
आप have कहा yourself that आप are merely a "guest musician" in Nightwish. Now that visit ends and we will continue Nightwish with a new female vocalist.
We're sure this is an equally big relief to आप as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.
आप told us that no matter what, the अगला Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the आग burns. So there's no sense in doing that अगला album with you, either.
The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It´s all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, आप कहा that आप will never tour again for और than two weeks at a time. आप also कहा that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small.
In interviews I've mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a scenery of my soul and I'm not ready to let go because of one person. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don't match mine.
We were never bothered द्वारा the fact that आप didn't participate in writing/arranging songs, आप never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour आप always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that आप are an undisputable front image of the band.
We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed द्वारा the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were और important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out दिखाना in Oslo, which आप wanted to रद्द करें because आप needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn't think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.
Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With आप we can't take care of those duties anymore.
Deep within we don't know which one of आप drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed आप from the lovely girl आप were into a diva, who doesn't think या act the way she used to. आप are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.
It's obvious that आप blame your stress and misery on us four. And आप think we don't respect या listen to you. Believe us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards आप as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. आप were always the only one who wanted और money from the shows.
This "compensation and और money from everything" -attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!
We wish that from now on आप will listen to your दिल instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and प्यार is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.
This decision is not something we are especially proud of but आप gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made द्वारा us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled द्वारा talking.
All the best for your life and career,
Tuomas

As आप can see, the thing with Tarja was'nt a big fight.
This is the letter that they sent to her, please टिप्पणी दे what आप think about it. I think it's honest and not too cruel
