A lot of stuff has happened since my last update. Tarja absolved her christmas tour in Finland, Imaginaerum has been released, NW will play her first show with the new songs in three days and Tarja’s final tour for WLB has just started. There is a lot of stuff to catch up with. I’ll start with Tarja:
