Amy Lee 'Never Said' Evanescence Was Over

Amy Lee has been vocal recently about the fate of her band Evanescence, but the singer took to Facebook today (Sept. 27) to clarify a few things.

First and foremost, Lee isn't done with Evanescence, Blabbermouth reports. "Feeling the need to clarify this — I never said Ev was over. I wouldn't limit myself that way," she wrote. "I said I wasn't doing it now and have a completely open mind for the future. An open mind is a beautiful thing — I had one when I started the band."

Lee recently spoke with Gary Graff of Billboard about the band prior to her statement. "The truth is I love making music, and I'm going to make music for the rest of my life," she said. "Whether that means it's called Evanescence or not, I don't know, but I wouldn't worry about it if I were a fan."

"Evanescence is a part of me — it just isn't a complete picture of everything I'm capable of — not even close," she continued in her statement. Lee released a collaboration soundtrack for the movie War Story with cellist Dave Eggar and other musicians titeld Aftermath on Aug. 25. "I wanted it to be completely different," Lee told Rolling Stone. "I didn't want it to be like Evanescence just because I've flexed that muscle so much, I wanted people to see different sides of me. I've written music all along the way that's just been mine that nobody hears but my friends, and I still want to do something with that at some point."

The singer also recently became a mother, which has been a big factor in Lee's limited tour appearances.
