## Summary

Floor Jansen has compared her departure from Nightwish to the end of a relationship, saying the band could no longer get through difficult periods together or reliably become the live act their audience expected. Her comments explain why the split, announced as an amicable mutual decision, followed years of uncertainty about the group’s live future.

Jansen left in October after 14 years with the band, having joined as a live member in 2012 and become a full-time member the next year. Nightwish announced a live hiatus in 2023 and have no upcoming shows announced; they are working on an album to follow 2024’s Yesterwynde, while founder Tuomas Holopainen has hinted at a possible return to the stage in 2028. Jansen is due to tour solo in Europe in January and South America in April and May.
