Dear fans and supporter,
We are working full of power and with a huge motivation on the second Cinema Bizarre album which will be released due Spring 2009.
But today is a very sad day in the history of our band.
We are sorry to announce that Luminor is leaving the band.
Today, he released an open letter to explain his reasons why he took his decision.
But we – the four remaining memebers of the band - also want to leave a statement and a message for you.
Some weeks ago all of us agreed that Luminor is taking a break from the work and the tour thoughout Europe so that he could get the oppurtunity to recover again an start with us again in 2009.
But his health conditions are remaining at the same level and they forced him to take this brave decision and all of us have to respect that with a heavy heart.
The health of Luminor is very important to all of us.
Luminor made his decision for he future of Cinema Bizarre, so that the we can go on as we used to.
He knows how disappointed you have been that you didn’t get the chance to see and hear him during the last concerts.
It’s also hard for us to lose someone with whom we went so far and who has been so close to us and helped us builing up the band.
All of us want to say „Thank You“ to Luminor for all his support, voice and inspiration he brought us in the past.
We wish him all the best for his future. Especially to finally recover and get well again.
He will always be a part in the history of Cinema Bizarre and there will never be anyone close to his uniqueness.
We hope your staying loyal to us and that you’ll start with us and the new album „TOYZ“ in 2009.
It’s going to be an exciting time.
The show must go on.
Strify, Kiro, Yu and Shin.''
