Yeah, I get the privacy thing, and it's cool that nobody is holding up their phones to film over there, they all just want to enjoy the performance so it's so tough to find live fan-shot stuff on Youtube.
I really just think it would have been better for her/them/us if an actual reason was given as I think speculating isn't a good thing but it's what fans have to resort to.
I'm even more upset with the Aldious/R!N situation though. Her voice was it for me. Her power, style, vibrato, tone, and just the whole package is awesome.
Maki is ok and if I hadn't hear R!N I'd be fine. They spent so much money/time/effort with R!N and after her (short) mental health breakdown she's back to music but not with Aldious so who knows what that's all about even.
For me, The fans do not have to know anything at all. I think that bands do not, and should not, have an obligation to be public with anything about a band member. The band does not have to give a reason why.
It's best for her not to disclose anything personal to the public.
People have this odd sense of needing to know everything about someone they do not and will never get to know personally. This is Idolization which can develop into an unhealthy obsession.
If you do not idolize, you will not care at all about a band members personal dealings. If they do not want to say anything, you accept it and move on. When you obsess over the need to know, then you are gearing toward an unhealthy obsession.
For me, I am on these forums to connect with like-minded individuals who happen to enjoy the same bands I do. I like to speculate, like anyone else does. But, I also understand the line of obsession and fun talk. The need to know about a band members personal dealings and situations is where that line is drawn, for me. Just look at the amount of extreme speculation about the reasons for Diego leaving and the band chose to put out a joint statement with Hakens statement and Diego's written statement where he gives us his reason to why he is not in the band anymore. I accept the reason of "creative differences" and will move on to being interested in Diego's future projects, while also interested in the future of Haken. I am not upset and sad about the decision and the reason. I can accept the reason, and live with it. Even if the reason does not jibe with my feelings being hurt cause a band member is leaving, especially a founding member.
