Ondanks dat  Visions of Atlantis heel goed bezig met 2 albums vorig jaar en nu al reeds een nieuw album in vooruitzicht. Maar ondanks al die successen word de band getroffen door slecht nieuws. Ex VOA Zangeres Nicole Bogner is overleden op 27jarige leeftijd. Zij was voor 5 jaar de leadsinger van de band en definieerde mee hun sound en was er tevens bij bij hun doorbraak.

De band heeft het volgende statement op hun Facebook page gezet:

"In deep mourning and with highest respect we have to notify all Visions of Atlantis fans that our former female Singer Nicole Bogner has passed away at the age of 27 after fighting a severe disease over a long period of time. The band is shocked about the loss of an old VoA-family member but wants to express sincere gratitude to Nicole not only for 5 years of sharing a musical Vision but also for more than a decade of friendship inside and outside of Visions of Atlantis. Without Nicole Visions Of Atlantis would have never been born and her unique voice and personality were a big part of VoA. With Nicole a great part of Visions Of Atlantis died as well. We will always treasure your warm hearted soul, you will never be forgotten Nici... All fans and followers are invited to join the In Memoriam Nicole Bogner-Page here on Facebook to express their grief and respect to this great artist and person! Rest in Peace NICOLE and thank you! The VoA-family"

Je kan nicole hier nog voor een laatste keer bewonderen in de enige video die van haar en voa is gemaakt. Rust in vrede Nicole!
