New Nightwish DVD May Be Greatly Delayed

According to the Finnish tabloid Iltalehti ( from Feb 3, 2006) the release of the “End Of An Era” –live DVD is in danger to be postponed due to some unexpected problems in contracts. Riku Pääkkönen, the chief executive of Spinefarm ( the record label of Nightwish), tells that Tarja’s manager and husband Marcelo Cabuli has demanded that Spinefarm, Nightwish and the management staff sign a contract that no one of them is allowed to discuss anything about Tarja or Marcelo, or anything related to them, without the written permission from Marcelo.

This kind of contract would practically prevent the publishing of the Nightwish –book this spring as well. “We really found the proposal to be strange and soon realized that this kind of a paper cannot be signed. You can’t make contracts like this” says Riku Pääkkönen in Iltalehti arcticle.

There would be a 250 000 Euros fine for breaking the contract. The concert in Hartwall-Arena is about to be released on a DVD and as a live-album. In order for this to happen, an agreement from all the parties is needed and because of this unfortunate string of events, it seems hard to get one member to sign.

Worst case scenario, Finnish fans will have to order their copy of the DVD from outside the Scandinavia.

“Maybe one could see this as another example how the fans are treated..” says Tuomas in Iltalehti article.
