Fabio Lione and Rhapsody Of Fire part ways

I think there is only a cover tune by these guys on the site, but know there is a few Crew members on here that dig these guys.
This is a huge surprise, Fabio has been the voice of Rhapsody of Fire since 1995. I can't find any real details about what went down but they had to cancel tour dates as this seemed to come out of the blue. If anyone finds more info be sure to follow up.

Dear fans,
We have to announce an important change within the band. After an amazing musical adventure together Fabio Lione and Rhapsody Of Fire have decided to part ways.
This decision was not easy but we are convinced that it will open up new possibilities and new horizons for both parties.
The music will go on. Rhapsody Of Fire will continue composing, producing and playing amazing music for their fans.
To give us time to regroup, we had to cancel and postpone the European shows announced for November 2016.
Finally, we would like to thank Fabio for being part of the Rhapsody Of Fire history and we wish him all the best with his future projects.
Sincerely

Rhapsody Of Fire
