All the best!!!

I learn last night that Yves Huts just left Epica, after having played bass with them since the beginning. Almost a decade spent in this band...
Yves explains the reasons why he left on Epica's website. Here are his words:

"Hi everybody,

013 is the venue where we did our first show with Epica and, almost a decade later, also my last. I'm leaving the band because I have another career opportunity that is not combinable with the schedule of a world touring band. I've tried to live these two different lives simultaniously for as long as I could but in the end I just had to make a choice, one of the most difficult ones in my life. I look back to these 10 years in Epica satisfied and enriched with life experience. As a founding member I'm proud of what we've achieved so far and I'm sure the future has a lot more great things in store for the band.
I would like to thank the band, crew, fans and everybody else involved for the good times and I wish my successor good luck.

Those of you that might be interested in any possible future musical plans of mine can visit my artist page on facebook

Kind regards
Yves Huts"

You'll be missed Yves. Anyway, I wish you all the best for your upcoming project(s) and I hope we'll see you soon with a bass guitar again.
