Hello everyone,
As we are all gearing up for the release of our new album I have news which might come as a surprise:Robert and I are expecting a child. To be honest, this was not planned at all, but we’re very happy about it as we experience our kids as an enrichment of our lives.
I’m happy to tell you that the release of our new album will not change: March 2011! The recordings for the album are completed and the songs are being mixed right now, all preparations for the release are in full swing, so there is no reason to put things on hold.
However, we couldn’t avoid rescheduling our tour as it will be impossible for me to deliver a great show for you while being in the final months of my pregnancy. Also due to the complications during the previous pregnancies it is dangerous for our baby and for me to be very active in these final months.
The tour dates have already been re-scheduled to the fall of 2011. The tickets you have bought will remain valid for the new dates which can be found on this page. We understand that the re-scheduling of our tour is a blow for you and we can only sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused as we very much appreciate the fact that so many of you have bought tickets for the shows early on.
We hope for your understanding and support and we’ll do everything to make the up-coming tour the best you’ve ever seen from us yet!
All the best from Sharon & Within Temptation.

Beste fans,
Terwijl we ons allemaal aan het voorbereiden zijn op de release van ons nieuwe album, komt er nog een verrassend nieuwtje tussendoor: Robert en ik verwachten een kindje! Om eerlijk te zijn was deze zwangerschap niet gepland, maar ondanks dat zijn we er natuurlijk ontzettend blij mee.
Gelukkig kan ik jullie vertellen dat de release van ons nieuwe album gewoon blijft staan op maart 2011. De opnames zijn al afgerond en verdere voorbereidingen voor de release zijn in volle gang, geen enkele reden voor uitstel dus.
Helaas konden we het verplaatsen van onze tour niet vermijden, aangezien het voor mij onmogelijk is een onvergetelijke show neer te zetten tijdens de laatste maanden van mijn zwangerschap. Door complicaties tijdens mijn vorige zwangerschappen zou het ook simpelweg gevaarlijk zijn voor de gezondheid van de baby en mijzelf om in de laatste periode nog zo actief bezig te zijn.
Onze tour is inmiddels al volledig verplaatst naar de herfst van 2011 met de toevoeging van verschillende extra shows o.a. in 013 Tilburg. Tickets die zijn gekocht voor originele data blijven uiteraard geldig voor de nieuwe data, het volledige schema is te vinden op: http://www.within-temptation.com/tourdates/
We begrijpen volkomen dat de verplaatsing van de tour een grote teleurstelling voor jullie is en we bieden dan ook onze oprechte excuses aan voor het ongemak. We hopen op jullie begrip en support. We zullen er in elk geval alles aan doen om de tour te maken tot het beste wat jullie ooit hebben gezien en gehoord!
Liefs,
Sharon & Within Temptation

From the official WT site:
Unlike last Tuesday where only I had to pose for the camera, today we’re all there for the band photo shoot.
Though we rather make noise we like to call music, than to pose for the camera it’s still always good fun cause the whole band is there. And after some time and there’s a lot of catching up to do as well as looking forward to all the things to come. Just like our new album we are going to try to do some things different so it’s going to be interesting if it’s going to work out.The result we can’t show you this week yet but we’ll try to give you a sneak peak later today.

On September 6th, Sharon shall open the anniversary show of Dutch couturier Ronald Kolk in the grand ballroom of Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam.
At this occasion, both Dutch artists will announce a new collaboration.
Ronald Kolk is an internationally renowened fasion designer who has worked with stars such as Bette Midler, Tina Turner, Grace Jones and The Pointer Sisters.
Kolk is famous for using the best, most valuable fabrics and assesoires available. Ronald Kolk shall design the new wardrobe for us which will be worn for the artwork photo shooting for our upcoming new album and for our world tour in 2011.
The collaboration starts with a spectacular opening of Ronald Kolk’s “Couture Boudoir Noir” anniversary show which will be held for 550 selected guest on September 6th in Amsterdam
The recordings from WT are going to start very soon, as we can believe Ruud.
This is the quote from his site:
And as if all this is not enough, I’m gonna start recording the new Within Temptation album very soon here in my studio. Looking forward to that as well.
Exciting news!
