An Open Letter from Floor Jansen.
To my beloved Nightwish family, fans, and the whole Floor Jansen community,
With a heart full of gratitude and sentiments too deep for words, I want to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. This trip has been nothing short of incredible, and I’m writing to express my gratitude for the love, support, and unshakeable faith you’ve shown me over the years.
To Tuomas, Emppu, Marco, Troy, Kai, and the full Nightwish team:You greeted me with open arms at a critical point in my career. It was an honour and a challenge to join this iconic band, but you made me feel right at home from the first gig. Together, we made music that resonated around the world, had incredible experiences on stage, and formed a camaraderie that went beyond just a band—it became a family. I am eternally grateful for the trust you placed in me, for allowing me to find my voice in the world of symphonic metal, and for the magnificent work we created together.
To Nightwish fans and the Floor Jansen community, you have been my strength, inspiration, and motivation. Your singing talents, encouraging comments, presence at concerts, and inexhaustible enthusiasm have helped me get through every high and low. Every cheer, tear, and embrace after a show reminded me that music is more than just sound; it is about connection, passion, and love. You have stood by my side, enjoying my victories and encouraging me through difficulties. I’ll never be able to express my gratitude sufficiently.
To those who have supported my path beyond Nightwish, embracing my solo work, collaborations, and personal progress as an artist, your faith in me has been inspiring. You have given me the guts to explore, create, and push the boundaries of my artistic expression.
Music is a gift, and I feel grateful to be able to share it with you all. As I go on the next chapter of my life, whether on stage, in the studio, or on any new experience, please know that you are in my heart. Thank you for making this journey so memorable.
With our heartfelt love and gratitude,
Floor Jansen
