Evanescence Bassist William Boyd Quits

Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee has posted the following message on the EVBoard.com message board: “Hey everybody. We just had a killer couple of weeks filled with press, photos, and an incredible video shoot that I know youre gonna love. Things are going great and I’m really getting excited for the new album. Unfortunately, I have some sad news. A few weeks ago, Will [bassist William Boyd] decided to leave the band. He said that he just can’t go through with another huge tour right now, and wants to stay a little closer to his family instead. Tour is hard — you kind of have to sacrifice your life for it, so we can all understand. We love Will very much and wish him nothing but happiness in everything he does. We’ve been playing music together since I was in junior high. I miss him already! I love you guys, don’t worry about the band — nothing has changed in the schedule and were all excited to get out there and play again. See you soon!”
