TARJA TURUNEN Wishes "Happy Easter" To All Fans

Tarja Turunen has posted the following message on her official blog.

Happy Easter!
9. April 2009

I hope you all are fine.

It seems that everybody else around me are preparing themselves for the Easter holidays by changing all the colours in their homes yellow

Well… I found at least one photo I can share with you with some yellow too.



Myself I am totally concentrated in my American tour that is on its way. Rehearsing singing and doing sports every day. It feels great to start the shows again. I truly miss everybody in my band. Just yesterday I was chatting with “uncle Mike” and he told me how much he had been missing my music and me. It was SO nice to hear that. It makes me very emotional.

Just before my tour starts, I am travelling to LA to finish some stuff for my new album. I am going to write music with very nice people over there, so let’s see how everything goes with that.

It is very important that my fans in US, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and finally Argentina will see me at my best. I am looking forward to be able to meet many of my loyal, trusted fans.

Thank you for making these new shows possible!



I wish you all happy Easter holidays!



With love, Tarja

Tarja Turunen is on the works for her sophmore album which will follow her debut album My Winter Storm that was released 2007. Turunen has named her new album "What Lies Beneath" but it's just a working title.

"We are doing the album to the point that I am completely satisfied to the outcome. It doesn't matter how long it takes. As long as I can say it's perfect, nothing else matters. No rush and no pressure.", Tarja said.

Tarja will also start her Tormenta Regresa A America tour next month, together with the following musicians:

Mike Terrana Drums (Masterplan, Savage Circus, ex Rage, ex Malmsteen)
Maria Ilmoniemi Keyboards
Oliver Holzwarth Bass (Blind Guardian, ex Sieges Even)
