During a recent BW&BK interview (coming soon) for AMARANTHE’s new album, The Nexus, vocalist Elize Ryd discussed the unexpected once in a lifetime experience of singing for NIGHTWISH on September 28th, 2012 in Denver, CO when the band’s then-singer Anette Olzon fell ill. An excerpt from the concersation is available below:
“It was a very special thing,” Elize says of the night. “I love Nightwish and I’ve sung their songs many times for myself (laughs). When you’re on tour you’re in a little bubble, so you don’t really think too much about what’s happening outside that bubble. They asked me if I would be willing to sing for them that night, and we decided that if the audience agreed it was okay for them that I sing, of course I was going to help Nightwish out so they could do the show. At least with some singing so they wouldn’t have to do it all instrumental.”
“It was a little bit like a dream come true for me because I always wanted to sing for Nightwish (laughs). I did audition for them years ago, so to actually be on stage with them was great. And the response from the crowd really helped. I was almost crying on stage because the people were so supportive.”
