Posted on Mar 04, 2010 under International | No Comment

Anette Olzon of the band Nightwish is pregnant and has been cool enough to let her fans know about it via Twitter. Anette tweeted via her official blog:

“I have held a little secret for you all for some time now, but today I feel I want to share it with you all.

“As you all know, I am very private and don’t want to share to much about my personal life, but due to some speculations and since I am so happy I have decided to tell my secret:

“Last autumn in the middle of my demo recordings of my solo album, I started to feel very, very tired and also nauseated. I took a pregnancy test and guess if me and my boyfriend [Johan, which some fan sites have speculated is actually bassist Johan Husgafvel of the Swedish metal band PAIN, although Anette has never publicly confirmed this — Ed.] was really surprised to see that I had gotten pregnant. Since I had decided to not have any more children than my son [eight-year-old Seth], it was totally not planned, but after the very first shock, it felt really, really good.”

This will be the Nightwish singer’s second child. She has a 9 year old son and says that it would be a nice time for her son to be a big brother.

Nightwish is a metal band from Finland and was formed way back in 1996 and Anette joined Nightwish in 2007.

On his new album, the brother of late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell said: “We’re about three-quarters of the way done with the record. It’ll be out June 1st. Our tour starts April 24th in Tampa Bay, Florida, and we’re taking this thing around the world for two years solid. I’m loving the record, everything that we’ve done to this point I’m really proud of. It picks up where the last record left off. It’s a little more Southern, a little more rock and roll; it’s got some very, very metal moments on it, too. It’s just a wide variety of all the different kind of influences that all of us grew up on, and I’m really proud of it.”

The awesome metal band HELLYEAH will be performing at this year’s 98 Rockfest and will also perform at WJRR’s Earthday Birthday 17: Almost Legal on May 1, 2010. Besides these two gigs, HELLYEAH will also be seen at t this year’s Lazerfest on, May 16 at , Iowa.
