More news has come out today regarding the recent goings on in the Evanescence camp.
The now former drummer Rocky Gray has posted on his blog saying he believes he has been given a gagging order to prevent him talking about his departure from the band.
Meanwhile singer Amy Lee has released a statement reassuring fans that the band is alive and well and that no shows will be pulled as a result of losing two members.
Gray writes: "Amy Lee's management emailed me last night to tell me that, in their view, the contract I signed to record, perform and tour with the group says I'm not allowed to have any free speech in regard to Evanescence. The way they spin it, I'm not even allowed to say I quit the group, I guess. But the news is out there, so, there ya' go. I need to have a lawyer read over all that mess to tell me what, when and how I can tell you all, the REAL FANS, what really went down, if I ever can, haha."
The Amy Lee statement says: "Evanescence is alive and well. John and Rocky were in Evanescence for four years and we shared some great times together playing live, but they were ready to move on and so we have parted ways. Evanescence is something I have loved and nurtured since I was fourteen, and I will continue to protect and fight for it as I always have. Terry, Tim and I are very excited to play live with some amazing new musicians and we will rock harder than ever. Stay tuned for more news on that front. And don't worry about the tour, guys. Nothing will be cancelled and we will see you soon!"
The first time the UK fans will see these "amazing new musicians" is at Download this June.
