New interview with Hitparade.ch

Actually, the new acoustic album by Within Temptation should not have even get into the charts. Now, however, has become a bigger thing. We met Sharon and told the reasons for this and much more.

hitparade.ch: Even before the band set up in 1996 were you romantically involved with your partner privately Robert. What is the impact it has on the band’s life, if the spouse is also member of the band?
Sharon: That is a question that I had not expected. Of course there is some kind of influence on the band members, because there is a dual relationship. We walk together on tour, and the rest of the band did not really notice that we are also partners. We formed the band together, and each has his own role and influenced the music in his own way People do not really notice it that we are the couple in the band.

hitparade.ch: Did you ever worry that a separation could mean one of you, the end of the band?
Sharon: No, I do not think so. I think that we are mature enough to find a way to work together. We are not only partners but also friends. Of course there will still be difficult. You can not really say how things would develop.
