An excerpt from the interview is available below. Q: What was the hardest aspect of the end of your long relationship with Kamelot?

I saw them last year, without Khan, the vocalist at the time was the Italian, Fabio Lione. He did Khan and the sound of Kamelot justice. Still wanted to see Khan though…..

Just last week, I saw them again, same place. I came to see the band again as I am a huge fan, but I was hoping this time to get a glimpse of Khan. Nope, instead it was the Scandenavian Tommy Karevik, who is officially the new lead singer of Kamelot. Again, unbeknownst to me until after trying to figure out what happened to Khan after the show. This guy is a lot younger than Khan and on that note Lione. So listen, Roy is gone. As fans of Kamelot, this sucks for us all. But go see these guys if you ever get a chance.

New guy and all, the sound of Kamelot is fully delievered and they are as epic as always. If God be for you, who can be against you? His will and strength reaches further than Kamelot. The future must hold great and exciting things for Kahn and his talents.
