NIGHTWISH Welcomes Bassist JUKKA KOSKINEN As 'Official' Member
22 August 2022
NIGHTWISH has announced the addition of bassist Jukka Koskinen (WINTERSUN) as an official member of the band.
Koskinen, who made his live debut with NIGHTWISH in May 2021 at the band's two interactive experiences, had spent the last year touring with NIGHTWISH as a session musician.
Yesterday (Sunday, August 21), NIGHTWISH released the following statement via social media: "We're delighted to announce our dear friend Jukka Koskinen is officially inaugurated as a member of the band. We've been incredibly thankful to have him on our side while touring and it only feels natural to have him join the band officially."
Koskinen joined NIGHTWISH as the replacement for Marco Hietala, who announced his departure from NIGHTWISH in January 2021, explaining in a statement that he hadn't "been able to feel validated by this life for a quite a few years now."
