An Open Letter from Amy Lee to Evanescence, Our Fans, and the Entire Evanescence Community Dear Evanescence Family, Words cannot tell you how much your love, support, and unwavering belief in me and our music have meant over the years, but I will try. You have been the inspiration behind everything we’ve done since Evanescence was just a dream, and through every album, tour, and performance, you have given us direction, lifted us up, and made this journey something truly extraordinary. You are more than just fans—you are family.
To my current and former bandmates, you have influenced my life in ways I never could have predicted. Every note, every phrase, and every melody in the music we have created together are pieces of our souls that have been preserved. I appreciate your perseverance, passion, late nights, and sacrifices. Every note we’ve played has contributed to something greater than ourselves—a legacy based on sincerity, passion, and unadulterated strength. Standing next to you on this stage that we call life is an honor.
You have been Evanescence’s lifeblood, our fans. With a passion that echoes through the halls, you have performed our music for us. You have connected with our music, found strength in our melodies, and found significance in our lyrics. By sharing your memories with us, you have given our music a life outside of the stage and the recording studio. We keep giving our all to every song, every performance, and every moment we spend together because of you.
And I will always be thankful to the entire Evanescence community—those who have been there for us, helped us, and made music more than just sound; it’s an emotional experience. I appreciate you accepting my voice, letting me be myself, and developing alongside me throughout the years. You have created an atmosphere that has allowed my spirit, my dreams, and my work to thrive.
This is just the beginning of the journey. We still have moments to share, stages to perform, and songs to write. But I simply wanted to say thank you today. I appreciate your presence, your faith, and the daily reminder of why I do this.
With all of my affection and appreciation,
Amy Lee
