EvBoard.com. In an interview with MTV, posted on their website on August 10, 2006, Lee announced that Tim McCord, former Revolution Smile guitarist, would switch instruments and play bass for the band

On May 4, 2007, John LeCompt announced that he had been fired from Evanescence, and also stated that drummer Rocky Gray had decided to quit. On his MySpace blog, LeCompt stated that Lee called his cellphone to fire him, and that no warning had previously been given nor were any negotiations made available

Gray later released a statement on his MySpace stating that he was served a gag order by label Wind-up which prevents him from discussing the reasons for his departure from the band. On the band's official website, Lee wrote that the band was still alive and that no tour events had been canceled or changed.

Wind-up issued a press release on May 17, 2007, stating that two Dark New Day members, drummer Will Hunt and guitarist Troy McLawhorn, would be joining the band to replace LeCompt and Gray. However, Lee wrote on the EvThreads.com forum that We're just borrowing Will and Troy for a while

and that they would not be leaving Dark New Day. It was initially stated that Hunt and McLawhorn would tour with Evanescence until the end of the Family Values Tour in September 2007, but both continued to play with the band through The Open Door tour

and thats pretty much whats happend to the band - members have either left or got the boot. which theoreticaly means. Amy Lee is now a 'solo' artist with the use of session musicians. their as good as gone

I KNEW ALL THESE STUFF!!! So what if all the original members apart from Amy have left? Evanescence was is and will always be Evanescence as long as Amy is still a member... And Amy fired john cause he was planning on leaving the band a few days before her wedding so that she wouldn't be able to find other musicians and all tour dates would have been canceled. And rocky was planning that too...

yes Amy Lee is still a member - shes the SOUL member. If u already knew what i posted or at least knew how to read then you would know that the tours WERE NOT CANCELED despite john being sacked. plus you dont know if he was planing to leave as its never been officially confirmed that he wanted to leave.

I didn't say the tour dates WERE canceled i said they WOULD HAVE BEEN.... Well that's what Amy posted on evthreads and i don't think she was lying...

I think everyone wanted to leave because Amy Lee was such a to work with
