Carmen R. Lorch (ex Schäfer) left Coronatus,due to being pregnant for her second child, which is supposed to be born in November.
In addition to the non-existence of a second vocalist at the moment Coronatus had to cancel all further gigs already booked.
This is her farewell letter for the fans:
"My dear fans,
I have to announce today that I have left my beloved band Coronatus. This decision has not nearly been easy for me.
As many of you might know, I am mother of a wonderful little daughter. Now the date to leave Coronatus was fixed by my second child, which is supposed to be born in November: Because of my current afflictions caused by the pregnancy - in addition to the non-existence of a second singer at the moment - we consequently had to cancel all further gigs already booked (May and June 2010) and therefore there will foreseeable not be any further Coronatus concerts with me.
Several months I have been trying to get an idea how I can stay a part of Coronatus with two children in the future. Unfortunately, the answer is very disillusioning - at least as long as it is not nearly possible to live from an even quite successful band like Coronatus. I know that up to now some of you had thought that we could earn enough money from the band to make a living. But this is not the case. So the result is, unfortunately, that there will be no place for Coronatus in my life next to family and work, and so eventually I have taken this hard decision.
For fifteen years I have been an e-guitarrist and singer in numerous bands - now for the first time I do not have any band anymore. Five and a half years as singer, co-songwriter and co-manager of Coronatus have come to an end for me. I leave full of gratitude to our record label Massacre Records, as well as all committed concert organisers / bookers and fair music journalists. And ultimately I leave full of gratitude to you, my fans, all the ones who have bought our cds and hereby made a major contribution to the fact that we could record and publish our music on a total of three cds!
