“None of this was my idea,” said the guitarist of rock band Evanescence. Jen Majura has been with the group since 2015, however, Evanescence recently informed fans that she is gone. “This has been a very special chapter in the band with our dear friend Jen Majura, but we’ve decided it’s time to part ways,” the band tweeted last week, according to NME. They also mentioned that they will always support her and look forward to seeing what she has in store for the future.

However, Majura came out to say that she had no control over this decision, without going into detail to say more. But, she mentioned her appreciation for the group, “I have no hard feelings against anyone and I wish Evanescence the best. I allow myself to carry beautiful memories of these past years, I am grateful. She wrote on Twitter The band have already found a replacement for the guitarist (which you can find out about in our latest story), but fans know they have Majura’s full support.

In lighter news, Today-May 28, Majura shared a cover of Steve Vai’s track “The Attitude Song.” Already, Vai has created an instrumental hit with his guitar solo. Yet Majura not only recreates the song perfectly from the original, but also adds a bit of spice just for the fans. Majura sits in her room and adds a harder bass, while playing in full celebration of Vai’s hit.
