Jukka se ha visto obligado a abandonar momentáneamente la banda ya que desde hace algunos años sufre graves problemas de insomnio que le hacen incompatible que esté al 100% en la banda y que a causa de este problema no esté en la grabación ni en la siguiente gira del próximo álbum. En su lugar estará Kai Hahto, amigo personal de Jukka.

How to begin telling something that you wouldn’t want to have to tell, although you know that the decision you made is the only (at least the only right) one you could make at the moment? I face this dilemma now, and will do my best to find the right words.
For a number of years, I have suffered from occasional but very difficult insomnia, something that has been my unwanted companion during many of our tours, too. I’ve done my best to try to control it or at least to cope with it. Still, we don’t even really know why we need sleep, so unfortunately there’s not much information available on why some of us suffer from sleeplessness. There is no 100% cure for the problem.
During the last month, it has become evident for me that due to my insomnia, I can’t fulfill my duties as a musician in the way that I’d want and with the precision that the music deserves. Thus I have decided to step aside from my duties as the drummer of Nightwish during the recording of the forthcoming album and the subsequent tour. I will still be involved in managing the day-to-day affairs of the band, but the dearest and the most important thing, playing, is, for the time being, not possible. Time will tell what the future holds.
On a personal level, my decision obviously feels indescribably sad. Fortunately, looking at it with some distance, it is “just” part of the constant, inevitable ebb and flow of life. The sad things are part of it as well as the beautiful, unforgettable experiences and adventures that I’ve already had the pleasure to experience in spades. Surely, there will still be many adventures ahead, too.
My good friend Kai Hahto will play drums on the forthcoming album. I’m extremely grateful that he didn’t hesitate for a minute when he decided to help us in this challenging situation. What comes to touring, everything is still open, but we will let you know as soon possible what the line-up will be.
If beginning this was hard, so is ending it. So maybe I will just quote something fitting.

Joder menudo bajón. Cada vez que parece que la banda vuelve a estar estable pasa algo malo. Esperemos que se recupere de sus problemas y pueda volver en algún momento.

Pasa la vida y las cosas cambian...

Para los que sufrimos este problema, es realmente dificil mantenerse al 100% con las actividades diarias.
Espero que encuentre una solucion y pueda volver cuanto antes, tambien como dice Surix, siento mucho que cuando todo va bien alguien se descomponga.

Espero que se recupere pronto y vuelva. Qué batería cogerán????

Kai Hahto, batería de Wintersun.

Esperemos que se recupere pronto y pueda volver. De todas formas no quiero confiar mucho en esa posibilidad porque es un poco extraño que en vez de decir que va a descansar unos meses directamente confirme que no participará ni en la gira ni en las grabaciones.

Hola a todos! Tanto tiempo. Bueno, si es lo mejor para él bienvenido sea el descanso. Por supuesto que deseamos que regrese pero en fin, se ve que hizo todo lo posible para lidiar con su insomnio durante todos estos años, merece su tiempo.

Kai Hahto, le deseo lo mejor ya que nos afectará a nosotros también xD. Confío en la elección de Jukka.
