Dutch symphonic metallers Within Temptation have parted company with drummer Stephen van Haestregt."We are sorry to announce that Stephen and Within Temptation will go their separate ways after the upcoming theatre tour," said the band in an official statement. "It isn't easy to say goodbye after all we've been through together. In this period of time many dreams have become reality for all of us and exceeded our highest expectations. Through the good and bad it has created a bond; we've had a wedding, a funeral and have seen each others kids being born and growing-up. Everything passed in a flash and we are looking back on it with a smile. We would like to thank him and Veroniek for all the great moments, passion and devotion. We wish you the best for the future!"
