Evanescence are planning to go on hiatus later this year. Speaking to NME.com, vocalist Amy Lee stated:
“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.”
She continued:
“…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.”
When asked how the other members of the band felt about the decision she replied:
“We’ll all be doing our own thing for a while. They’re very talented and they’ll all be fine.”
