On December 29th, Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia posted a 2017 year-end wrap-up. Check it out below.

"The beginning of a new year is very, very close. I find myself thinking about everything that happened to me in 2017. So many things have happened. In few months I have lost both my parents, the two humang beings I loved the most in the entire universe, the ones who always supported me and made me who I am today and will guide me until the end of my days.

I have ended a very long relationship who fullfilled 13 years of my existence and my heart. I have spent incredible moments with Lacuna Coil, working on a record that was very successful and lots of people appreciated, touring the world, meeeting lots of new fans.

I have lost lots of precious lives, around me. I shared laughs and tears with my friends. I know more than ever how much I care about them.

I like to think that everything happens for a reason. Even the most heartbreaking experiences taught me so much and gave me this feeling of... almost being invincible. I know that the most important things in life can’t be purchased, I know love is all around me, I know I have an army of friends that I love to death, I have lots of great plans for 2018.

Most of all I do know happiness starts from the inside, regardless of what is happening on the outside.

I wish you all a great end of the year and may 2018 be bright and full of inspiration."
