Did you end in good terms with her? I mean, did Anneke's departure affect the band's relationship with her? Are you angry with her or something? Because in the video of the press conference, when you said that Anneke didn't want to make music anymore with you and that it was kinda harsh, there was an expression in your face of...don't know if abit of anger, or dissapointment maybe, that gave me the impression that there is some tension between both sides. Maybe I'm wrong
It's impossible this happening is not affecting our relationship, professionally, but also as friends. I am still suprised and yes, even dissapointed. That's all I want to say at this moment.

i'm curious as to whether Anneke's aforementioned "rush" to leave will cause the last few shows to be all the more embraced and cherished (meaning the magic that we always get live will be amplified) or whether it will cause tension with the music on stage.
Furthermore (i dont want to get to into your personal lives, but) how is the relationship with the band and Anneke off-stage?
No, we are professional enough to give a good show, but I can't promise any magic. We will try to do our best.
We are just trying to have a good time. But everything is different now. This is, of course understandable, but on the other hand I find it rather strange. It's fine to play live, even now, but I am eagerly looking forward to make music in a healthy, enthousiastic band.

If it's not too sensitive of a question, I'm kind of curious when exactly it was that Anneke said that she wanted to leave the band? I know the announcement was made on June 5th, but it sounds like maybe the decision was made a long time ago? Was it right after her son was born?
Maybe. Who know she wanted to quit already around this period?
The 2 times we spoke about it was febr. this year and march 2006.
Ok people. From this moment on I will only answer questions about the upcoming future. I don't want to become sentimental nor bitter. This is really all I want to say, right now. It's the new album which counts right now!
Cheers, Hans
