EVANESCENCE Singer AMY LEE Sues Longtime Record Label WIND-UP

According to TMZ.com, EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee has filed a lawsuit against her longtime record company Wind-Up, claiming the label attempted to sabotage the band by appointing under-qualified promoters who lacked useful ideas.

Lee is reportedly seeking $1.5 million in unpaid royalties from the record label as part of her suit.

March 4, 2013 marked the 10th anniversary of the release of “Fallen”, the major label debut by EVANESCENCE that became a monster, multi-platinum hit for the Lee-fronted rock band. According to The Pulse Of Radio, Wind-Up Records reissued the album on limited-edition purple vinyl in May 2013.

Led by the smash single “Bring Me To Life”, which also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie “Daredevil”, “Fallen” sold a whopping seven million copies in the U.S. and yielded three more singles with “Going Under”, “My Immortal” and “Everybody’s Fool”. EVANESCENCE also won Grammys in 2004 for “Best New Artist” and “Best Hard Rock Performance”.

The success of “Fallen” also led to turmoil within the group, as founding guitarist Ben Moody left in late 2003, leaving Lee as the only original member of the band.

Lee continued with new members, and EVANESCENCE issued “The Open Door” in 2006. While a hit, it did not equal the sales of “Fallen”. Lee told The Pulse Of Radio at the time that she wasn’t concerned about matching the previous album’s success. “I just haven’t ever looked at it that way,” she said. “‘Fallen’ is a great record, but I don’t think you can try to match the success of another body of work. I think that’s only gonna frustrate you. And if, honestly if what you really care about is record sales and money, there’s no way you’re gonna make a great piece of art, because then you’re just gonna get all confused and make something ingenuine.”

After another protracted absence, during which Lee flirted with a solo career and even began a more electronic album only to abandon it, EVANESCENCE released a self-titled effort in 2011 and toured behind it for the better part of a year.

EVANESCENCE To ‘Take A Break’ After U.K. Tour

EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee has told NME.com that her band is planning to take an extended break after completing its U.K. arena tour in November.

Asked if EVANESCENCE is thinking about writing a fourth album, Lee said: “I’m always playing the piano and harp because I like to, but I haven’t been purposeful in my playing. I haven’t been sitting down to write.”

She continued: “I’m thinking we’ll take a break first. I’m really not sure what I’ll do next. At the end of any really long tour, you need to get your head in order. I think at the end of the run we’ll go on a break for a while and figure things out.”

Asked if she hoped for a shorter gap between records, she said: “I don’t know. Taking long breaks is seen as a bad thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. People have the idea that you have to keep putting stuff out while people remember you. But I’d rather make something that’s awesome and then make people remember again. I hope it doesn’t take five years, but I don’t want to put a timeline on it either.”

Regarding whether the rest of her band were OK with this, she said: “We’ll all be doing our own thing for a while. They’re very talented and they’ll all be fine.”

EVANESCENCE headlined this year’s edition of Carnival Of Madness, the annual touring rock extravaganza, with support from CHEVELLE, HALESTORM and NEW MEDICINE. The trek kicked off on July 31 in Springfield, Illinois and hit major cities across the U.S. including Boston, Baltimore, Atlanta, Nashville, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.

EVANESCENCE‘s self-titled third major label album came out last October, five years after the group issued its last effort, 2006’s “The Open Door”.

“Evanescence” sold 127,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.

EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee joined HALESTORM on stage last night (Saturday, August 18) at the El Paso, Texas stop of the “Carnival Of Madness” tour to perform the HALESTORM song “Break In”.

After the show, HALESTORM singer Lzzy Hale tweeted, “El Paso, tonight was the first night I’ve ever had a duet with a woman. Amy Lee rocked it with me on ‘Break In’! Love her!”

In response, Lee wrote, “I loved singing with you. Your voice shreds and that is my SONG right now! Thanks for letting me ‘Break In’ on your set tonight ;).”

Lzzy then replied to Amy directly, writing, “The pleasure was all mine! It was so beautiful! You rule, babe! I’m so grateful for your friendship. You brought new life to ‘Break In’.”

A photo of Lee and Hale taken right after the “Break In’ duet can be seen below (courtesy of the “Carnival Of Madness” Facebook page and the tour’s official photographer, Rob Fenn).

In a recent interview with Fuse, Lee spoke about sharing the “Carnival Of Madness” stage with HALESTORM and Lzzy Hale. “We played with HALESTORM [at a previous festival],” she said. “I went on the side of the stage just to hear [Lzzy] sing and she sounded incredible, unreal, like one of those old classic rock voices, and I was like, ‘Wow, she’s great,'” She added, “It’s cool to have another female on the road. Not just because it inspires me musically — because it does — it makes me feel this sort of pride and, ‘Yeah, go get ’em’ when I see a chick rocking. Also, [Lzzy‘s] really down to earth. I’m looking forward to hanging out and getting some girl time in.”

EVANESCENCE’s AMY LEE Says Her Dad Made Santa Seem Real

Although it’s been a long time since EVANESCENCE lead singer Amy Lee believed in Santa Claus, the former resident of Little Rock, Arkansas told The Pulse Of Radio that when she was a little girl, her father did his very best to make St. Nick seem real. “My dad was the coolest dad around Christmas time,” she said. “He’d go out on the lawn — like, put everybody to bed, ‘Okay, Santa’s gonna come, you’ve got to go to bed’ — he’d go outside and jingle these jingle bells like off in the distance in the yard and go, ‘Ho, ho, ho,’ and then he’d take a football and throw it up on the roof, so they would like tumble down and sound like somebody was landing on the roof. And I remember as a kid, always thinking, ‘I really heard Santa Claus this year. It’s really real, he’s here, he’s in there!'”
Lee was born in 1981 in Riverside, California, but her family eventually settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, where her father was a successful radio personality.

EVANESCENCE‘s latest album, its first in five years, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart.

The band will play a short run of seven North American tour dates early in the New Year, beginning on January 13 in Clemson, South Carolina.
