"We tried it but we understood in a short time that it would have been really impossible to have our friend and drummer Alex Holzwarth playing for both [Luca Turilli's] Rhapsody and Rhapsody Of Fire. In these conditions there was simply no way to go on and right now, having two tour agencies working for us and starting the planning of the live activity, we agreed that the best is to keep the two bands completely independent from each other."

That's why Alex Holzwarth will continue playing with Rhapsody Of Fire. This makes sense because his brother is playing in that band too.

At the same time Luca Turilli's Rhapsody have recruited Alex Landenburg as their new drummer and permanent band member. Watch Alex Landenburg performing in this video:
