EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee recently spoke with FM radio station 102.9 The Buzz and revealed how she had hurt herself pretty badly while preparing for her band’s upcoming U.S. tour with HALESTORM.
Amy said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I hate working out. I hate it. I don’t know about you, but I hate it so much. And I have to find something that engages my mind. And music helps. But I finally found the thing for this time around.
“I have to always go through some kind of training before we go back on tour to get my body strong,” she continued. “And I found all these beautiful hiking trails in one of the state parks near here. So I’ve been hiking around Percy Warner [Park] on all these trails. And I run down all the different little paths — not the main drag — and it’s super fun, ’cause I don’t know how long it’s gonna be or when it’s gonna end, so I can’t quit. And I’m listening to the setlist and getting excited and going fast. And I tripped or took a bad step in the middle of the forest by myself and twisted my ankle. So I’ve been just, honestly, depressed…”
Lee added: “I was starting to feel really good, and then it’s, like, ‘No, you’re not.’ It’s fine. It’s doing better. I’m going to get back to it.
“It’s hard when you find that thing that you finally are, like, ‘This is good for me. This is a healthy choice. I’m actually enjoying it.’ And then it doesn’t work out.”
EVANESCENCE’s tour with HALESTORM will kick off on November 5 in Portland, Oregon and conclude on December 18 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
