He spoke with Finland's KaaosTV in 2021 and opened up about his departure from the band, saying: "We were headlining (shows) and everything was good, but I remember a few gigs I did, I was just playing like a robot. The passion wasn't there. I talked with Alexi (Laiho) a lot of times, saying 'I feel it's not fair for you guys that I'm not so into this anymore. I decided I have to check the next card in my life, and that's why I left the band. I definitely did the right thing, but of course I've had those moments when I wish I could be on a tour bus again, but I'm happy I made the decision back then. It would have been really heavy for me to just carry on (thinking) 'I don't want to do this...'
