NIGHTWISH Singer And SABATON Drummer Welcome Their Second Child

NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen and SABATON drummer Hannes Van Dahl have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Lucy.

Jansen and Van Dahl already have a six-year-old daughter named Freja, who was born on March 15, 2017.

The Dutch-born vocalist revealed the news in a social media post earlier today (Friday, October 20). She shared a photo of her, Hannes, Freja and Lucy holding hands, and she wrote: "There she is! With great happiness we can announce the birth of our second daughter Lucy! Big sister Freja is delighted with our dark haired little girl too!

"Health is not a given fact, and so it's humbling to report that both our baby girl as mom are in a great one! We are enjoying these special moments to the fullest and ask for understanding of our privacy in this intimate time! Big thanks for all the love and support we received during the pregnancy! We have now welcomed our dear Lucy into this beautiful world".

Shortly before Freja was born, Hannes was asked by Spain's Metal Journal whether his family situation would have an impact on his ability to tour with SABATON. Hannes said: "Well, you know, as far as I'm concerned, nothing will really change, 'cause this is what I do, an this is… this is what I do to make a living. People have had kids before in this business. So, to stop any worries — 'cause I know a lot of people are worried [about me] quitting the band — I will stay in the band. And as far as I can say, when it's time, I need to go and be there with my family. But when I've done that, I'm going back to touring. So I won't leave. I will be there."

Jansen herself had spoken about the challenges of raising a child while being in a touring band like NIGHTWISH. She told Finland's Radio Rock in 2016: "Of course, it's a very challenging combination, and I was very happy that the way [NIGHTWISH is] today — or, actually, have always been — it's a very open group; we can talk about things. And the guys, actually, were curious. A few months ago, we started talking about it, like, 'So, 2017… How about kids? Yeah?' So it's great to think about things together: how can we combine it? Also 'cause my partner is in a successful band, touring a lot. Yeah, then you need the cooperation of the people that you are family with also. So I am not afraid that won't work. It will be a challenge, for sure, but, yeah, a little SABATON or NIGHTWISH daycare program sounds lovely, doesn't it? [Laughs]"

Jansen also dismissed rumors that she would leave the band after welcoming her first child. She told Mariskal Rock TV: "No, I won't [quit NIGHTWISH]. I love this way too much; don't worry. You don't even have negative speculations one way or another. Things are great, and let's keep on doing this forever."

NIGHTWISH played its last concert before its current break from touring on June 17 at Lemonsoft Stadion in Vaasa.

In November 2022, Floor revealed that she was "cancer free" after undergoing surgery to have a tumor removed following a breast cancer diagnosis.

In April, NIGHTWISH surprised fans by announcing that the band was not going to be playing any live shows for the foreseeable future and would be not be touring in support of the group's next studio album, which is tentatively due in 2024.

Floor's debut solo album "Paragon", arrived in March.

As part of NIGHTWISH, Jansen has landed two number one albums in Finland, and Top Five albums in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

Born in the Netherlands, Jansen joined her first band, one of the world's first symphonic metal bands, AFTER FOREVER, when she was only 16 years old. The group went on to release five albums from 2000 to 2007, before they broke up in 2009.

Jansen's next band, REVAMP, released two albums in 2010 and 2013, before she joined NIGHTWISH as a full-time member. NIGHTWISH's first album with Jansen as the lead singer was 2015's "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", which landed in Top 10s around the world. This was followed by 2020's "Human. :II: Nature." , which was also an international success.

Jansen has toured extensively with the band and appeared on three of NIGHTWISH's live albums "Showtime, Storytime", "Vehicle Of Spirit" and "Decades: Live In Buenos Aires".

In 2019, Jansen participated in the popular Dutch TV show "Beste Zangers" where she scored a big hit with "Phantom Of The Opera" together with Henk Poort. She was recognized with a Dutch Popprijs award — a prestigious accolade for artists that has made important contributions to Dutch music. In the same year, her first solo tour sold out in less than 24 hours.

Jansen performed live with NIGHTWISH for the first time on October 1, 2012 at Showbox Sodo in Seattle, Washington following the abrupt departure of the band's lead singer of five years, Anette Olzon. Jansen officially joined NIGHTWISH in 2013.

E se ste sfighe fossero venute una dopo l'altra dopo un piccolo gesto?

22 settembre 2024 - 8 scorpivs 220

Primi 2 giorni/sol da volontario a supporto dellɜ studentɜ stranierɜ che vengono a studiare nella mia università. Il primo è stato abbastanza noioso, perché ho scambiato parole con poca gente, ma il successivo mi sono sbloccato. Giovedì/sol jovis eravamo in pausa caffè e, nel non aver inclinato bene la brocca, mi sono versato il caffè bollente sulla mano, sporcando tutto. Tra l'altro in quei giorni lì avrei dovuto iniziare a prepararmi il caffè da solo con la moka, ma il fornelletto piccolo non ne voleva assolutamente sapere di accendersi (le scintille però c'erano). Con la scusa di aver attirato l'attenzione di uno studente di Vaasa col mio incidente, mi son messo per la prima volta a scambiare due chiacchiere sui corsi che frequentavamo. Tali chiacchiere proseguirono nella pausa pranzo, che non mi aspettavo si svolgesse in realtà al ristorante all'ultimo piano dell'albergo! Tuttavia quel giorno era capitato addirittura un professore israeliano a tenere lezione. Tra l'altro, per come sta messo il mio ateneo, quasi non mi sembra così inaspettato dato che era stata respinta qualsiasi richiesta dellɜ manifestanti nel periodo dell'Acampada. Non mi andava affatto di aver vicino questa persona, tanto che quando ci ha salutatɜ tuttɜ dopo pranzo non gli strinsi la mano ma gli feci cenno di saluto. Sarà una quisquilia, ma secondo me ha contato qualcosa. Mentre lɜ altrɜ erano partitɜ per Taormina, mi sono incamminato per casa e sorpresa delle sorprese, viene a piovere! Un bell'acquazzone non previsto che mi ha praticamente trattenuto presso un kebabbaro perché era il rifugio asciutto più adatto nel punto dov'ero. Per fortuna a un certo punto aveva smesso di piovere, e sono riuscito a tornare a casa.

Venerdì/sol veneris faccio ritorno a casa. Il pullman era mezzo vuoto, senza colmarsi all'aeroporto, con l'aria condizionata, mi aspettavo un bel viaggio tranquillo. E invece no! Un'auto aveva fatto un incidente sulla statale, nei pressi dell'aeroporto, e il pullman è rimasto in coda per tipo 2 ore! Solo per aspettare che arrivassero i mezzi per spostare l'auto incidentata. Anzi, un'attesa tanto lunga aveva fatto pensare al peggio soprattutto il povero autista, che temeva che quell'incidente fosse stato fatale e che quindi dovevamo aspettare chissà quando perché doveva arrivare il magistrato. Per fortuna non fu così, e prima di polizia e vigili se n'era andata dal luogo dell'incidente proprio l'ambulanza che probabilmente doveva trasportare l'autista ferito. Insomma, arrivo a casa dei miei con ben 3 ore di ritardo e dovetti fare tutto di fretta prima di andare dall'estetista a farmi la parte davanti del torso. Nonostante il dolore in alcune parti del corpo, sono riuscito a reggere la sessione, e finalmente mi son meritato il mio bel pranzetto d'asporto riscaldato da mamma. Tra l'altro proprio quel venerdì/sol veneris seppi da mia madre che finalmente erano arrivate le graduatorie tanto sperate. E l'unica cosa che devo fare è accettare la sede prima di ripartire per un viaggio coi miei.

Di sabato/sol satvrnii, invece, capita che il pomeriggio vado alle Mura Timoleontee per assistere a un evento di mio interesse: l'esibizione di un violinista celebre a livello locale (bravissimo tra l'altro, certe cover col violino erano da paura) alla quale seguiva una visita notturna alle mura con tanto di figuranti vestiti da antichi greci a narrare il passato della mia città. Purtroppo non potei assistere alla seconda parte della serata perché nel frattempo mi stavano chiamando per venire da mio nonno a mangiare la pizza. E dopo la pizzata venne la notte, l'ora delle riflessioni personali, sulla sessualità e sull'espressioni di sé. No, non parlo di momenti di eccitazione, ma proprio di riflessione sul come si reagisce a determinati stimoli e a cosa possono essere dovuti, dato che la sessualità è praticamente legata a doppia mandata alla psicologia. Tale riflessione non la pubblicherò in questa sede in quanto ho altri spazî per farlo.

Nel frattempo ho accettato la sede e domani vedo cosa devo fare dopo

https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/noura-al-matrooshi/

Noura Al Matrooshi sarà la prima astronauta degli Emirati Arabi.

È stata selezionata tra oltre quattromila candidati e prenderà parte a una sessione di addestramento al Johnson Space Center di Houston, negli Stati Uniti, insieme a un gruppo di astronauti americani, in vista di future missioni nello spazio.

Sono state esaminate le abilità in campo scientifico, l’istruzione e l’esperienza pratica. Inoltre sono state fatte una serie di valutazioni fisiche, psicologiche e mediche.

Nata nel 1993, Nora Al Matrooshi sin da piccola era appassionata si spazio, si divertiva a osservare le stelle e i pianeti.

A 18 anni, ha vinto le Olimpiadi Internazionali della Matematica negli Emirati.

Si è laureata in ingegneria meccanica nel 2015, fa parte della American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Durante il corso di studi a Abu Dhabi, ha frequentato l’Università di Scienze Applicata di Vaasa in Finlandia e studiato coreano alla Hanyang University di Seoul dopo essere stata selezionata in un programma per giovani ambasciatori nel 2013.

Dal 2016 lavora presso la National Petroleum Construction Company di cui è stata vice presidente del consiglio dei giovani per tre anni consecutivi. Ha rappresentato gli Emirati alla Conferenza Internazionale delle Nazioni Unite sulla Gioventù nel 2018 e 2019.

Il suo sogno è di sbarcare sulla Luna da una navicella degli Emirati. Il suo paese sta sviluppando un programma spaziale che ha visto già portare in orbita la sonda Amal attorno a Marte. L’intento è sviluppare le proprie capacità scientifiche e tecnologiche e ridurre la dipendenza dal petrolio. Gli Emirati Arabi Uniti hanno in programma di lanciare un Rover lunare entro il 2024 e lavorano all’insediamento su Marte entro il 2117.

Noura Al Matrooshi è un grande esempio di talento, qualità e competenza. Ha guidato progetti di ingegneria per la Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, ha già motivato centinaia di giovani e partecipato all’organizzazione degli Special Olympics IX MENA Games.

NIGHTWISH Plays Last Concert In Finland Before Planned Break From Touring

NIGHTWISH played its last concert in Finland before its upcoming break from touring on Saturday, June 17 at Lemonsoft Stadion in Vaasa. Fan-filmed video of the performance can be seen below.

NIGHTWISH has only one more live appearance on its schedule: Thursday, June 22 at the Tons Of Rock festival in Oslo, Norway.

This past April, NIGHTWISH surprised fans by announcing that the band was not going to be playing any live shows for the foreseeable future and would be not be touring in support of the group's next studio album, which is tentatively due in 2024.

NIGHTWISH's statement read as follows: "As the 'Human :ll: Nature - World Tour' is drawing to a close, we feel now is the time to tell you of our plans for the next phase in our journey.

"After the planned shows for June 2023 we will be 'hanging up our spurs' for an indeterminate time, as far as live concert performances go, and won't be touring the next album.

"The reasons for this decision are personal, but, we all agree, vital to the wellbeing and future of the band. Be assured that we still love working together, and this decision has nothing to do with Floor's [Jansen, NIGHTWISH singer] pregnancy or our other individual projects.

"However, an album of 12 new songs will see bright daylight in 2024, as will 3 music videos! The band is positively hyped beyond words over this new upcoming musical adventure.

"Stay tuned for updates from our legendary NIGHTWISH band camp & studio this summer!"

Last December, NIGHTWISH keyboardist and main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen said the band's upcoming follow-up to 2020's "Human. :II: Nature." will be the third part of a trilogy that began with 2015's "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album. He told Metal Hammer: "I immediately knew after getting that album ['Endless Forms Most Beautiful'] done that, 'Okay, we have to do more songs about this, because there's so much more to explore and tell the world. We're not done with this.' And the same thing happened after 'Human. :II: Nature.'; we're still not done. So let's do one more. At least one more.

"In a way, [the next album] is the third part of a trilogy, which started with 'Endless Forms…' and then 'Human. :II: Nature.' There are some major surprises there again, but it feels like a natural continuation to 'Human. :II: Nature.'"

According to Tuomas, NIGHTWISH's next LP will cover previously uncharted ground while continuing in the more cinematic style that has characterized some of the band's recent efforts..

"The wonderful thing is that we have had the demo [of the album] done since last spring. So it's been done for six months now. We really have all the time in the world to go through it all, and we have had a such great time with the band, just listening to the demo in our hotel rooms — me singing the lyrics and the melodies to Floor [Jansen, vocals]. She's recording them and then she's seeing them and throwing ideas to each other."

NIGHTWISH Cancels Oslo Concert Due To Singer FLOOR JANSEN's Health

NIGHTWISH has canceled its June 22 appearance at the Tons Of Rock festival in Oslo, Norway.

Earlier today, the band released the following statement via social media: "Due to circumstances concerning [NIGHTWISH singer] Floor's [Jansen] health, we're unfortunately forced to cancel our show in Oslo on the 22nd of June. Floor's pregnancy is totally unaffected, and she heads home for some much needed rest.

"Even though all six of us are gutted over this decision, it was an easy one to make, as health must always come first.

"On a more positive note, the rehearsals and recordings of the new album begin in less than two weeks, so onwards!"

NIGHTWISH played its last concert before its upcoming break from touring this past Saturday, June 17 at Lemonsoft Stadion in Vaasa. Fan-filmed video of that show can be seen below.

In November 2022, Floor revealed that she was "cancer free" after recently undergoing surgery to have a tumor removed following a breast cancer diagnosis.

This past March, Floor and SABATON drummer Hannes Van Dahl announced that they were expecting their second child. Jansen and Van Dahl already have a six-year-old daughter named Freja, who was born on March 15, 2017.

In April, NIGHTWISH surprised fans by announcing that the band was not going to be playing any live shows for the foreseeable future and would be not be touring in support of the group's next studio album, which is tentatively due in 2024.

NIGHTWISH's statement read as follows: "As the 'Human :ll: Nature - World Tour' is drawing to a close, we feel now is the time to tell you of our plans for the next phase in our journey.
