He has left the door ajar. We may one day see a reunion if the issues raised are resolved. That does happen with bands (Bruce Dickenson and Dave Murray, Iron Maiden / Rob Halford, Judas Priest), although the case here is unusual as it's both medical and operational. I'll say fare the well, Marko, and all the hope I can give that things become better.

Это одна из самых любимых песен за всю мою жизнь. Я безумно люблю ее именно в исполнении Марко и только его пронизывающий до глубины души вокал, задевающий все струны внутри способен на такой полет. Эта песня целиком и полностью его. Он в ней растворился, он с ней сроднился. Невероятно талантливый человек. Обожаю! Марко, мы любим и ждем твое творчество не смотря ни на что.

As a fan of Floyd going back to the 60's, I tip my hat to Nightwish on an excellent cover and my deep appreciation of covering a song that speaks to our generation's reflections about the sacrifice of our dreams in order the live the nightmare of others. My hope for those coming behind us is to learn from our folly and not follow in our mistakes. My dreams for you is to be better than we were.

After reading the news, i'm absolutely heartbroken. I was too young back when Tarja left, and out of the loop when anette did too, but now that i'm back to adoring nightwish, as it was part of my childhood and it will forever have a special place in my heart, i can't help but believe this is the same way fans felt knowing about Tarja leaving. I remain convinced that mental health should always be a priority, and that's why i will love this band no matter what happens, taking into account that the people that are part of it are really talented guys and they kick ass just as much as they did back in the beginning. I don't have enough words to explain just how many feelings i am going through, and i can only hope that Marko's resignation doesn't mean Nightwish's decay. Damn, i got emotional, i really wish Marko the best, i and wish for him to feel better eventually, someday, somehow, because there are lots of people who love him, and we'll be waiting

best rock rendition ever... iconic masterpiece calling for an iconic rendition

I LOVE Pink Floyd and get very defensive about the multitudes of crappy covers out there and tributes that don't hold a candle. With that said, this is one of the best covers, of anything, ever, and this live performance is truly stunning. Does the original credit in style, nothing less than what I'd expect from Nightwish.

I have been into Pink Floyd since 1969 and don't think many days have gone by without spinning a track or two, I feel this is def not a blatant cover more a very skillfully crafted tribute full of soul that is obviously done out of respect for the song and love of it, I prefer to listen to this for that plus that reason and love this solo more btw. Other bands try hard to clone but with Pink Floyd it's pointless so for me this is refreshing twist and worthy addition to my playlist

Marko you will be missed. All the best.

Great Pink Floyd cover, top performance by the singer!

Suffering total burnout is terrible! I pray he finds his passion in singing for us again, one day! A wonderful, deep soul...this man tells a story whenever he sings, without the need for fancy theatrics or crazy moves.💖

One of the best cover that ever was made

He definitely can hit the high notes. Great remake of High Hopes.

in other words , i love this tune
