Rhapsody Of Fire - Fabio Lione Quits The Band
The last we've heard of Rhapsody Of Fire, they had cancelled a show in Tel Aviv, Israel in August reportedly due to internal struggles within the band. It seems like they were having issues behind the scenes and now long-time vocalist Fabio Lione just announced that he quit the band. Why? The Italian singer didn't really say much about it but he is focusing on other projects.
Fabio also recently announced his new band, Eternal Idol.
This is the band's statement released today:
Fabio Lione posted on his official Facebook page: "Dear all, fans, promoters, colleagues. I anticipated this to all band members in the last 3/4 months and now I sadly announce my final decision to part ways with ROF. Ain't no words to describe what this band represents to me, and I'm proud to have been part of such a big chapter of the power metal bible. It's time for me to write a new chapter of my life, as a musician and as a man. I wish ROF all the best, may their magic go ahead stronger than ever... Thank you Alex and Holzy, for this 20 years, ...Thank you Roberto, for your friendship and Alessandro for your sincere attitude and honesty..."

Luca Turilli and now Fabio... Seems like Alex Staropoli is now the uncontested leader of the band. RoF will never be the same without Fabio, although I am sure they can find a suitable replacement.

Too bad new Fabio's band is called Eternal Idol and not Fabio Lione's Rhapsody of Fire, making Rhapsody of Fire change name to Rhapsody of Fire and Thunder or something like that.

Greatest news ever imo - he isn't a great vocalist (been a Rhapsody fan for 10 years). His vibrato was so forced.

Feels like it's time to just shut down this entire band. Love their early work.

Written by Kais on 29.09.2016 at 15:44 There already are three bands though! Rhapsody, Rhapsody of Fire and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody.  RoF hasnt really put out anything decent since Frozen Tears anyway, so maybe this split will be a good thing. Fabio in the latest Angra was fucking awesome and shows that he can put out good material without the rest of Rhapsody behind him. Looking forward to what Fabio does next and think it's officially RIP for any hope of a decent Rhapsody album in the future.

Written by cobrapel on 29.09.2016 at 17:02 Oh please, no. Pellek destroys any band he joins. His vocals are great in range, but horrible in accent and feel.

Quote:Written by Kais on 07.10.2016 at 16:02 Pellek? Who is Pellek?  My picture was ironic, because it is obvious that there is a big problem of spreading ego in that band.
