With a new singer already brought in. Considering Liv is married to Alexander Kroll who basically started the band for her....

Fixed for you....

No real explanation why? I'm assuming it has to do with parenting and needing to have an actual home life? I still remember Liv stuck at the infamous crosswalk by Center Stage with what I believe was her son. Poor lady was there forever.

Liv stated on her facebook page that the parting was surprising and not what she wanted.

Which leads to assumptions of marital problems. If it was something like a family issue or pregnancy, one would think they would announce that. It doesn't come of as an amicable split.

Fixed for you....

Thanks

All their proof from January is dated as April

And if April 6 is the date of the mediation to kick her out, that's like a week and a half turnaround for a new singer to take over fully prepared?

Doesn't sound much different than Floor being ready to fly over to the US and takeover for Annette at the drop of a hat.

never seen any band talk to its fans the way this shitty band does

LIV KRISTINE - "I WAS FIRED FROM MY OWN BAND; A SUDDEN ACTION, AND WELL PLANNED"

If that certified transcript is genuine then she doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. What's the gain in the drama?

1. The contract is dated January. However, the actual signature is not until April. They may have started the "process" back then, but Liv had no idea till she was fired recently.

2. No way in hell should a professional band post any sort of legal document without the consent of all parties involved. Liv has every right to be furious.

Fair enough.

This sort of makes me miss the days where I'd read this sort of thing as a two line tidbit in the Blabbermouth section of Metal Maniacs a month or two after it happened, rather than have every silly development and hasty, poorly considered message plastered all over social media.

I'm not a fan of the band but they're looking pretty bad right now. Firing a member is fine, might suck for fans, but a band is a business and sometimes you have to make painful changes. However, yelling at your fans on social media and posting contracts to support "your side" are definitely not fine. Pretty curious to see what kind of response they get this fall on their tour with Sonata Arctica.

Oh my

Leaves' Eyes is one of those bands I've just never seen the appeal of. That said, having had the chance to interview Liv I found her both charming and humble. It's a shame it seems her world is getting turned upside down.
