Det har ligget i kortene lenge, men nå kommer Roy Khan selv med meldingen om at han er ferdig med Kamelot.

Norske Roy Khan har sunget med Kamelot en god stund, men ved lanseringen av bandets siste plate i fjor gikk han på en skikkelig utbrennings-smell, og ble sykemeldt. Siden har han ikke sunget med bandet, og nå kommer den offisielle meldingen fra Roy Khan om at han definitivt har sluttet i det populære bandet.

“Dear fans and friends,

“There have been a lot of speculations around why I am not touring with KAMELOT and I want to make a statement although it may not prevent further guessing as to what’s actually going on. It is a fact, however, that I told the guys in the band already last fall (well after my burnout) that I was leaving the band. Naturally enough, they were shocked (as was the label and everyone else working with KAMELOT). In addition to risk of dropping ticket sales, they wanted to give me time to think things over, and so I did. My decision still stands; it is finished.

“I am currently spending time with my family in Norway taking it easy and wondering profoundly what the future is going to bring. Communication with the outer world has been so and so, but I have had several talks with Thomas [Youngblood, KAMELOT guitarist/mainman] along the way, although I am still called in sick.

“I am terribly sorry that my decision is affecting so many others and I want you to know I wish the band and associates all the best for the future and that I enjoyed every second in the spotlight. How could I not?! They were nourished by the best fans in the world!

“I am eternally thankful for everything you and KAMELOT have given me and equally sorry that it has to end here. The good news is; God was there after all…

“Love you to death!!!”
