Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen has shared a new video along with the following message:
"Welcome to the very first episode of my new series, Coffee, Questions & Answers! It is a heartfelt and intimate series where we share a cup, life's highs and lows, and the simple joy of connecting over a warm brew.
This past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. From welcoming our beautiful baby girl, Lucy, to releasing my debut solo album, Paragon, and wrapping up Nightwish's world tour – it's been an incredible journey. Amid these amazing moments, I also faced a major challenge: overcoming cancer.
Thank you all for your constant love and support. Let's raise our mugs together in this new series!"
