Evanescence, led by Amy Lee, continues to make headlines with the certification of 'Bring Me to Life' as Diamond in the U.S., the announcement of a 2026 North American tour and a 2027 Australian/New Zealand arena tour, and the release of their new album 'Sanctuary', which Lee describes as a journey through truth and self-liberation. Lee also spoke about her experiences touring with Metallica, her reflections on being labeled a one-hit wonder, and her views on the evolving role of women in rock and metal, while rejecting the 'goth' label. A recent incident at a Tampa concert, where a side curtain caught fire, added to the band's recent media presence.
