AMY LEE On EVANESCENCE's Success: 'I Feel Proud When I Look Back'

EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee and guitarist Jen Majura were recently interviewed by Belgium's RTBF. You can now watch the chat below.

Asked how she looks back on EVANESCENCE's success so far, Amy said: "I feel proud when I look back. I look back to those early times and see my face, especially if I see an old an interview or a performance when we were on that 'Fallen' tour, and I look like a kid. I was a kid; I'd only lived outside my parents' house for, like, four years. So I see it and I'm, like, 'Woah! What an incredibly crazy thing to happen.' And I know that, behind it all, I was juggling a lot, just adjusting emotionally and trying to keep the band together and everything else crazy that goes along with doing this.

"This has been a very retrospective era for us," she continued. "We made this box set of our history, and now we've done 'Synthesis', which is a beautiful reflection of our music throughout my career, and then adding some new things in it."

EVANESCENCE and acclaimed electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling will embark on a co-headlining 2018 summer amphitheater tour across North America. The trek, produced by Live Nation, will kick off July 6 in Kansas City, Missouri at the Starlight Theatre and will make stops in 31 North American cities. The tour will wrap September 8 in Ridgefield, Washington at the Sunlight Supply Amphitheater.

Both artists' shows will be accompanied by a full orchestra, highlighting both acts musicality and their incredible performance abilities that continue to blow fans away. The orchestrated performances will also perfectly accent the astounding amphitheater venues across the U.S. and Canada that the two will be performing in, making for a magical summer evening.

The two artists recently collaborated on the song "Hi-Lo" from the latest EVANESCENCE album, "Synthesis", which features a virtuosic violin solo by Lindsey Stirling.

"Synthesis" was released in November. The disc sees many of EVANESCENCE's songs reworked in new ways, incorporating orchestral and electronic elements into the original compositions.

The "Synthesis Live" tour launched in October and like the album, it features a full orchestra and electronics.
