Evanescence singer Amy Lee told Jam! Music earlier this week that she can’t see herself touring for her entire career. Lee said that being in a rock band is “pretty weird most of the time,” adding, “I get tired of touring and want to go back and write. It’s those two extremes that I get tired of. I’m not doing this forever.” The vocalist told Launch that she has other ambitions in life, including making different types of music. “I want to move on into other fields later in life, definitely, but I’m not there yet,” she said. “I would love to do musical scores for movies. I love scoring, so I’d love to do that. That would be fun. Like, if I ever wanna, like, when I’m old, be a mom and work at home, like, it’d be so awesome to just have a studio in my house and just work on scoring stuff. Not have to tour.”
Amy got engaged to boyfriend Josh, a therapist, Monday evening (Jan. 8) while the band was in Toronto to perform at the Air Canada Centre.
The longtime friends have been dating for about a year. It will be her first marriage.
Lee, 25, said Josh, 28, got down on one knee for a traditional proposal. She broke the news by phone to mother Sara Cargill Tuesday morning.
The Evanescence hit “Call Me When You’re Sober” was written by Lee about her former boyfriend, Seether singer Shaun Morgan.
Amy Lee appeared last month at Korn’s taping of “MTV Unplugged”, which will premiere in February. Her performance of “Freak on a Leash” with the band heads to rock radio stations later this week.

It’s her life, and she wants to actually live it normally like everybody does n have a family…

I feel so dreadful.First she got married and now she is talking bout leaving the band.WHAT SHIT.

I think it’s great that Amy is going to live the life she wants and isn’t going to just do what her fans want her to do. Don’t be so selfish Amy should feel free enough to live the life she wishes. Sure she will be sadly missed although we have been fortunate enough to embrace her and her awesome vocal abilities at all be great full of that.

I think, whatever Amy desides to do, its what she believes in and what will make her happy! We all will always have her albums. Amy, you are strong, and I will ALways respect you, believe in you, and always have faith in you! Congrats to you and Josh! I think, and know, its hard to be in the industry, and you have to take on Alot of crap, whatever you deside to do, I will always be here to support you!!

I agree with the person above me, it’s Amy’s life. She’s been in Evanescence for a very long time, she’s the one who started the band and she’s been there supporting everyone who listens to her since day 1. And she’s still young, she wants to live her life, I can definitely understand that. It’ll suck if she does quit, because I never want to stop hearing her voice, but I’ll always be happy for Amy no matter what. I LOVE YOU AMY! Congratulations to you and Josh, I hope you guys are very happy together. :]]]

Actually yes he can-he does not have charges pending against him and that is a good thing for you. Once he is back in contact the Army and they will force him to take out an allotment to provide the money that you are supposed to be getting. The military is actually one of the easiest ways to track some one in and they are serious about support payments for children. Get the papaers and take it to a lawyer and they will tell you roughly the same thing.

What? HELL NO! I am a guy myself, and I definitely know what that means! It basically is “Hey, I got tired of you, I will give someone else a shot and give you a crappy excuse, and when I am done with what I am doing, I will get back to you and you will accept me because you love me and my excuse was a legit one!” Never, ever, ever, ever get back to him! You will find someone much better than that!
