Amy posted the following message on evthreads:
You have all been so wonderful to me, and to all of us. It is absolutely true that this tour would have ended long ago if it weren’t for all of the fans. I don’t know if you realize how hard it is to successfully tour these days, but many people are being forced to cancel their tours. We, because of you, are one of the very lucky and fortunate few who have never been in that position. You have come to see us play, most of you multiple times, and some of you have traveled extremely long distances to see the show. The fact that we are a rock band, over a year after our album’s release, finishing out on an arena tour is nothing short of a miracle. There have been thrilling and beautiful times in the past year, and also some painful, hard times. In the end I know it was all for good, and I am completely grateful that everything happened the way it did. Life throws you all kinds of things you could never expect. Sometimes I find myself looking back at the past few years and laughing at how crazy this whole thing is (how did I get HERE??) and wondering what my life would be like if music hadn’t won my heart…well ok, thats almost impossible to imagine. If this band hadn’t been formed though- would I be teaching music in a high school? Always wishing I’d broke through, going to concerts on the weekend going, “I could do that!…” I am so blessed. And I am very grateful to all of you for hearing me, for letting me into your lives and for loving music. This last day of tour is of course a happy day, were all excited to see our families and move back into our homes, but it is bittersweet. This is the end of another chapter in our lives, one that we will never EVER forget.
I will love and miss my wonderful crew, who are the absolute BEST, and I wish all of them happiness and good gigs for next year and beyond. And of course, my band, who are some of the most talented people I’ve ever known. (I’m sure I’ll get all sappy and cry on you after the show tonight but just in case you have too much eggnog to remember, I want all four of you to know that I love you. You inspire me to be a better musician and it has been pure pleasure playing with you every night. Will and Troy- I am so excited for the new DND album! It sounds amazing and you deserve great success and respect for your art. Thank you guys for saving me! Tim, I’m gonna miss you so much. Your contribution to the band has been so good on so many levels. I am SO lucky to have found you! And Terry, I think we may have seen it all through the Open Door. From sunrise epiphanies in Calabasas to purgatory in the ICU, to playing with Iron Maiden at Donnington, to our first grammy nomination together. Congratulations, T. You deserve it.)
Thank you fans who brought us love and presents last week! I freaking LOVE the cupcake cookbook and plan on making some TOMORROW! Ok, I’m done cheesing out now. I love you guys very much and hope we meet again soon! Thank you for everything.
love,
amy

awww -cries- Amy is an amazing person and she cares alot about her fans but of course we all know that
December 27th, 2007 at 8:48 am
Hi Michelle,
I don’t think Tim is leaving the band.
I think what Amy meant was that, now the tour is over, everyone in the band will be returning to their own lives for a while. Until they decide when they should get back together to create some more kick arse songs…
Man i cant wait for the next album to come out. Hope it’s sooooon
December 27th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Jerrad,
I hope you’re right this band has already lost so many excellent members we don’t need anything else like that to stress Amy out.
December 27th, 2007 at 5:24 pm

Amy, you’re such a lovely person, great singer and you’re gorgeous! From the start I’m a huge fan of Evanescence.
I’m 27 years old now and have two lovely daughters called Isabella and Alessia (2 and 3 yrs old) Isabella likes to wear ‘princess dresses’ and then she calls herself ‘an Evanescence’. So sute!
I hope you and the rest of Ev will come to Holland again for one day.
Are you busy with a new album? I’m dying to know! Hug, Barbara from Rotterdam, Holland
Hopefully you’ll read this sometime….

Amy,
I am 16 and latley i have been really upset over everything! i think i might have depression. But whenever I am sad I turn to your music from the open door (i love that cd! my favorite!) and i leave it on repeat untill i am finished crying my heart out…and when i listen to the lyrics they really make me think! about the person i am and just what is going on in my life. Your lyrics have inspired me so much, and have been my therapy to get m through this aweful time. So i would just like to thank you for being such a wonderful song writter and for having such an amazing voice. You have helped me so much and it is kind of like you were always there for me when i needed someone! :) so thanks!
