Σύμφωνα με δήλωση του Roy Khan στο myspace, είχε δηλώσει από το φθινόπωρο τις προθέσεις του στους Kamelot, αλλά δόθηκε ένα χρονικό διάστημα μήπως αλλάξει κάτι πριν ανακοινωθεί επίσημα. Δυστυχώς για τους φαν -μάλλον και για το συγκρότημα- η απόφαση του τραγουδιστή είναι οριστική.
Δείτε παρακάτω ολόκληρη τη σχετική του δήλωση:
"Dear fans & friends,
There have been a lot of speculations around why I am not touring with Kamelot and I want to make a statement although it may not prevent further guessing as to what's actually going on. It is a fact however that I told the guys in the band already last fall (well after my burnout) that I was leaving the band. Naturally enough they were shocked (as was the label and everyone else working with Kamelot). In addition to risk of dropping ticket sales they wanted to give me time to think things over, and so I did. My decision still stands; It is finished.
I am currently spending time with my family in Norway taking it easy and wondering profoundly what the future is going to bring. Communication with the outer world has been so and so, but I have had several talks with Thomas along the way although I am still called in sick. I am terribly sorry that my decision is affecting so many others and I want you to know I wish the band & associates all the best for the future and that I enjoyed every second in the spotlight. How could I not...they were nourished by the best fans in the world! I am eternally thankful for everything you and Kamelot have given me and equally sorry that it has to end here. The good news is; God was there after all...
Love you to death!!!
All the best & so long,
Roy Khan "

Τι να πρωτοσχολιάσει κανείς; Η φωνή του Roy και το ύφος που έδινε η εκφραστικότητά του στα τραγούδια ήταν από τα χαρακτηριστικά στοιχεία των Kamelot, που σίγουρα θα μας λείψουν. Λένε πως κανείς δεν είναι αναντικατάστατος, αλλά είναι επόμενο ότι θα αλλάξουν πολλά από'δω και πέρα στους Kamelot που ξέραμε.
Ευχόμαστε τα καλύτερα πάντως τόσο στον Khan όσο και στα υπόλοιπα μέλη της μπάντας.
