Drummer Stephen van Haestregt will not be playing with Within Temptation during their upcoming theatre tour. Due to family matters he hasn\'t been able to rehearse. That\'s why Mike Coolen (Brotherhood Foundation, Daybroke) will step in as replacement drummer. Mike previously replaced Stephen during a few shows in 2007.\"In short, due to all the touring we have done, we haven\'t been able to work on new songs and that\'s why we now want to focus on that. We\'d also like to go on holiday for a change as we haven\'t been able to do this in the past years. Besides writing new songs, there will also be more time for individual side projects.\"
Stephen van Haestregt will be playing live with My Favorite Scar, guitarist Ruud Jolie will perform with For All We Know.
