@@strabel803 Thanks dude 😎!!

[@LigeiaNoire]

Yeah, that's what I thought about the special show with Tarja.. The promoters kind of threw them under the bus with this one...making fans think that it was a joint show when it is not. Tarja will be promoting her best off album and Marko his new solo. However, they are now between a rock and a hard place because the festival will sell out, and they will feel kind of "obliged" to play something together for the fans sake... what a situation.. Honestly, something outside of Nightwish's realm would be a good slap in the face of the organizers. Like many old fans, I would love to see them singing something like BOTB together but not if they don't feel like it. Silent Masquerade or Medusa would be a great choice, or maybe even a Finnish folk song. Why not? Good to see Marko again. Need to buy his new album.

Thank you for this interview. It is great to see Marko again. Succes Marko. I hope Marko is going to perform with Floor on Christmas. I love how they sang Ave Maria together. Yes, those promoters. Tarja and Marko singing together is also great. Funny now Marko isn't part of Nightwish everyone is trying really hard to force Marko and Tarja to work together. Also because, they both live in the same country now. Also funny because, Tarja is getting the same questions. I hope thar Tarja and Floor wiil make a song together. Looking forward to the new Nightwish album. It is only a pitty that they won't be touring with this new album. I truly like all of them and wish for each one of them to be healthy and happy. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀💪🤘🇳🇱🌷🤗

Funny that you bring up the "living in the same country" thing. It's definitely been a common misconception of people who don't think things further. Because geographically, when they both still lived mainly in Finland, they lived closer to each other than their homes in Spain are. They're more than 500km apart.

Hello Marco!!! Fans in Serbia can't wait for new hits, and it would be good if you write rock history again with Taria. I'm sure the new album will dissipate the magic of your riffs that drive us, although I think the magic comes from the number 66 because I was born in 1966 too.

Thank you for posting this interview. And thank you both for speaking English (so I could understand you). I am a huge fan of Nightwish (NW), and every NW fan knows Marko will forever be missed. That's not a knock on anyone else, it's simply a nod to Marko's great talent. He seems to be a reasonably happy guy, and it appears his troubles with mental health issues are being handled well. I'm glad to see it. 👍 What I would really like to know is how he describes his current relationship with the members of NW. Break-ups generally suck, and this one was a bit of a shock. But I really hope these people are not all mad at each other. There are fans all over the world that would love to see Marko and NW reunite in one capacity or another. Marko and Floor singing together are an on-stage blockbuster. There's simply no denying it.

Ah funny, I also thought they're playing together.

[@cricket8646]

I am very curious what REALLY happened between Marco and Toumas ?? I feel that what we were told was not the truth ??

[@nikostheater]

The way the band treated Tarja and Annette, made clear that the atmosphere in Nightwish was toxic and any magic they had between them was lost. In addition, the industry changes plus Covid meant that they could not do what they were used to and the output with Floor was luckluster (at no fault of Floor ). It’s probable that at the end their relationship deteriorated, became cold. The huge ego of Thomas is bet is also unhelpful.

[@Evil_Peter]

Of course we still see people speculate in the manner that Marko said is insulting to both himself and Tuomas. Some "fans" just think of themselves and want drama.

[@nikostheater]

I think Marlo was involved in Tarja’s ousting from Nightwish, so I don’t think that she would want to be on stage or even off stage with him. Maybe they’ll be polite to each other and act professional, but they won’t interact much and they won’t play together. It’s obvious that the whole thing annoys him , not necessarily because of Tarja herself but because he has to respond to this expectation and pressure.

[@chaoszine]

I think it was mostly Tarja and Tuomas who had the issues. Tarja and Marko have done also Raskasta Joulua shows and they get along good. Even live quite near each other in Spain if I am correct. 😊

[@Evil_Peter]

From what I remember Marko was the first to say that they should fire Tarja, but I don't think it matters since he was also the first to bury the hatchet with Tarja some years later and they seem to be on good ground. It seems like even Tarja and Tuomas have dropped the animosity, although it's much less likely that they would go out of their way to work together.

Though I wish Marko the best, and glad to hear from him, I am a bit saddened to hear that he is evidently moving to Spain?? Because though he didn't say it outright, I think Marko is 100% done with Nightwish. He made no mention of reuniting with Tuomas and the crew, and he mentioned the musicians he is going to be putting an album out with more than anyone. Even on the Tarja info, he mentioned a possibility, but nothing definite -- which, you would think, that if Marko had any plans to get back with Nightwish, he would have mentioned, let alone moving to the literal opposite side of Europe and Nightwish. Ah, well...as Floor has said many times: "All good things come to an end."
