Yeah, seriously. Of course she's hot, but I'm mostly (ie, only) concerned with losing her vocals. I take some comfort in knowing that they will announce somebody to take her place, but I am, at the same time, pretty sure that it just won't be quite the same. Very unfortunate, this.
Good for her, though, on the whole finishing school thing. That's a lot more stable than being in some almost moderately successful band, I'm sure. Most of them still list their parents' homes as permanent addresses, as far as I know.
