Former Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura steps back from music industry
Former Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura is stepping back from the music industry. The 41-year-old German rocker was a member of the Bring Me To Life band from 2015 until 2022, when she found herself unceremoniously ousted from the band. Three years on, the touring musician has decided to quit music for the foreseeable future, because of the "overwhelming amount of ridiculousness that comes with the music industry nowadays." In a letter to fans shared on Instagram, she penned: 'Dear friends, 'I'm gonna make this as brief as I can: 'After careful consideration, observing what's going on in the music industry, AI related developments and change in society I've come to the conclusion to step away. 'Some of you have heard me talk about this quite a while ago. Instead of wasting another year of my life constantly hoping for new energy, drive and creativity, I've reached a point in my life where I can confidentially lean back in peace. While time allowed me, I was able to collect an amazing amount of beautiful experiences, tours, shows, travels and moments! I am grateful for every bit of that, but the world has changed. I can confidently make up my mind to stop." Majura hasn't ruled out a return to music in the future. She continued: 'I am not saying that I will never create any music again, whether recorded or live – but for now I feel there are healthier and better things to fill my life with good vibes and not deal with the overwhelming amount of ridiculousness that comes with the music industry nowadays. I just can't identify with today's attitude and values anymore." After thanking fans for their support over the years, Majura announced the release of four tracks she stumbled upon after a decade. She said: 'I wholeheartedly want to wish all the ambitious and remaining "creators', young and old, all the best. With time, the meaning will become clearer. 'To you, the fans, I wanna give you a giant virtual hug and say THANK YOU for all your support, love and faith throughout these years of me being an active touring musician, I am grateful." She signed off: 'As a final musical endeavor I wanna share 4 tracks with you. Songs that were written over a decade ago together with the great guitarist Dennis Hormes. I found these old demo recordings while cleaning out stuff from my computer and thought they are too good to not be shared. So if you made it this far and read the whole post, I assume you actually ARE someone that truly cares and these 4 singles are for you!' Announcing the departure of Majura, Amy Lee and co declared her tenure a "very special chapter" in the history of the group. In a social media statement, they wrote: 'It has been a very special chapter in the band with our dear friend Jen Majura, but we have decided it's time to go our separate ways. 'We will always love her and support her, and can't wait to see what she does next! We are so grateful for the good times and great music we made all around the world together.' Majura later claimed it was not her decision to leave Evanescence, but insisted there are "no hard feelings" or animosity between her and the rest of the band. She tweeted: 'I feel the need to address that none of this was my decision! "I have no hard feelings against anybody and I wish Evanescence all the best. I am allowed to carry beautiful memories of these past years, I am grateful.' Majura replaced Terry Balsamo as guitarist, the replacement of original member Ben Moody, who quit back in 2003.

Evanescence and K.Flay announce Ballerina end-title song Fight Like A Girl
Evanescence have teamed up with on the track 'Fight Like A Girl', the first end-title song in the John Wick film 'Ballerina'. After frontwoman Amy Lee and Halsey dropped the original song 'Hand That Feeds' from the hotly awaited flick, the 'Bring Me To Life' group have joined forces with alternative star on a song they co-wrote with Dylan Eiland and Ballerina film composer Tyler Bates. A description of the song reads: "Fuelled by fierce energy and defiance, Fight Like A Girl channels the film's themes of vengeance, resilience, and female empowerment, mirroring its adrenaline-pumping intensity and emotional depth." Both 'Fight Like A Girl' and 'Ballerina' are released on June 6. Amy Lee said: 'Tyler calling me up to create this song for Ballerina couldn't have come at a more perfect time, I know I'm not the only girl out there ready to dig my heels in and show the world what we're made of. 'I really wanted this song to be a collab, and is one of my favourite artists. It is literally a dream come true to do this together!' Grammy-nominated casually penned her verse backstage after a concert while her "adrenaline was still super high". She added: 'Amy sent me the demo and I was immediately so energised, so inspired. I was on tour at the time, and I wrote my verse backstage after a show, when my adrenaline was still super high. For me, the film and the song are both about how we channel our pain and how we choose to define ourselves. What separates the hero from the villain?' Taking place during the events of 'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum', 'Ballerina' follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

I watch TV for a living. This episode is the craziest thing I've seen.
This story contains spoilers for episode three of season two of The Rehearsal. I have a high threshold for the absurd. As a kid (yes, I was too young for it, blame my dad) I grew up with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, who took deranged pleasure in beating each other senseless on the BBC. My teenage years were spent singing about soup and eels with The Mighty Boosh. One of the best things I watched in my 20s was Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas guessing the contents of a dumpster on The Chris Gethard Show. And one week after giving birth, I nearly did damage to myself uncontrollably laughing at Tim Robinson not knowing how to work his body in a virtual-reality supermarket on I Think You Should Leave. As deputy TV editor of this masthead and someone who's professionally written about pop culture for more than a decade, I watch a lot of comedy. But none of this prepared me for the latest episode of HBO docu-comedy The Rehearsal, in which Nathan Fielder – a 41-year-old man – shaved all the hair off his body, put on a nappy and a harness to propel himself into an oversized cot and re-created the life of Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who landed a passenger plane on the Hudson. Whether you've seen the series or not, it's difficult to describe the context for this – a scene so ornately staged and deadpan in its delivery that I literally screamed while watching. Stranger still: it wasn't even my favourite moment of the episode. That was Fielder's reveal of a (not unconvincing) theory that a 23-second silence in the famous plane's black box recording is explained by Sully listening to the chorus of Evanescence's 2003 goth-pop hit Bring Me To Life. Speaking to Vulture, Evanescence singer Amy Lee called the moment 'so beautiful', adding that the show is a moving portrait of human vulnerability and a worthwhile interrogation of airline safety (this season is focused on Fielder's attempts to prevent real crashes). 'It's just blowing my mind,' she said. 'He's some kind of genius.' Separate to all that, this 34-minute episode also includes Fielder spending four months training one of a couple's three cloned dogs to behave like their deceased pet with the help of half a dozen paid actors and a man transporting air from the city where they once lived. As our critic put it in his four-and-a-half-star review of this season, 'No one else is making television like this [and] that actually might be for the best.'
