Norwegian artist Silje Wergeland has announced that she is parting ways with The Gathering.
It’s a new dawn and a new year. After 16 years of creating and playing great music with @thegatheringband, it’s time to move on to new ventures. I have had so many awesome experiences and made great memories with this band that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I wish my band mates all the best for the future. Thanks for all the great support and the lovely conversations with all you wonderful TG fans around the globe🙏🏼❣️
Lots of love,
Silje
In the past, she was the frontwoman of the Norwegian doom/gothic metal band Octavia Sperati, of which she was a founding member. On 10 March 2009, it was announced that Wergeland had joined Dutch rock band The Gathering, replacing singer Anneke van Giersbergen, who founded her own band called Agua de Annique. She has two daughters, Marie, born in August 2012, and Louise, born in February 2016.
