Sänger und Gitarrist Ilkka Salminen hat sich offiziell von der finnischen Band Tenhi verabschiedet. Laut Homepage liegen die Gründe in anderweitigen Interessen des einstigen Gründungsmitglieds. Man habe sich jedoch im Guten getrennt und werde freundschaftlich miteinander verbunden bleiben.
Hier Ilkka Salminens eigene Stellungnahme:
Dear fans,
I have now officially left Tenhi.
This is my own decision and I want you to know that it happens in the best spirit between all of us. It might not be a surprise for you, as my contribution in Tenhi has decreased ever since we released Maaäet. For the time being I haven’t got the possibility to devote myself to Tenhi anymore with the same intensity as Tyko and Ilmari.
I’m extremely proud and happy for everything we achieved in Tenhi and it all means an awful lot to me. I feel privileged that for the past decade I was given the possibility to create music with such talents as Tyko and Ilmari. I think Tenhi is doing very well in their care, and I encourage them to carry on the Tenhi saga for a long time.
On my behalf I’d like to thank all of you Tenhi fans for the fantastic support you’ve given throughout the years. I wish you all the best, keep Tenhi flame burning!
Yours,
Ilkka Salminen
