Ex-NIGHTWISH vocalist TARJA TURUNEN checks in with the following update:

"My friends, my beautiful Tormenta en America tour is already over. Still I would like to share some beautiful moments from the tour with you.

It was great to return to Santiago de Chile. I met many people who had heard me in Noche Escandinava concert in 2002 last time.

The feeling was breathtaking when the curtain dropped in the first song 'Boy And The Ghost and I got to see all the audience screaming and singing right in front of me!

Thank you Chile!

We also filmed a video for the new song called 'Enough' in Santiago, day before my concert. The filming took us a complete day and at the moment I am just waiting to see the results. We used only green screen in the shooting, so even though I have experienced that kind of working in my past, now the video is completely based on animated material. So it can end up looking in too many different ways…

Some fans were invited to the video shootings!

I just happened to get very sick in Santiago. The weather was so much cooler than in Brazil and with a lack of sleep, I couldn’t handle it anymore. Since the concert in Chile, I was fighting to get better for the last show in Buenos Aires.

I guess there were some angels helping me, because the day before the concert I was sure we would need to cancel the show.

But the concert in Buenos Aires was the best ending for the tour I could have dreamed of. To get a chance to make a concert in my hometown was one thing that I had been waiting for so long.

It felt very special to me to be able to sing, especially in that condition. I got very emotional. What a great thing to remember!

This tour was just an amazing experience for me once again. On my journey through different countries I got to meet lovely Latin American people who gave me so much love, support and hope. I deeply want to thank you all that were there for me. I wish to see you soon again.

My band’s and crew’s support and unconditional care also made me very happy. I love you people!!!!!!! Thank you for making my dream come true.

The last photo of the band backstage right after the show in Buenos Aires. All of us happy, but sad at the same time…

Day after the last concert, we went with the whole band to the studio to record the song “Enough”. I will sing my parts when I feel better. Anyway, the song sounds already excellent and all the musicians gave their best for the song! You’ll hear it soon

I guess the record company will announce soon officially everything concerned the song and video. I don’t want to interfere with their work

Now it is time for me to rest from touring, but I am writing new songs all the time…

Europe can wait another “storm” to appear very soon."
