Why did the band almost break up? (Or are they really broken up?)

Hello, the band didn't break up, in fact, এভানেসেন্স performed in NYC and Brazil in November 2009. Amy is working with Terry and Tim on new material, আপনি can find a video of them recording in the studio on Twitpic, also আপনি can follow the band and get all the নবীকৃত তথ্য for the album on Twitter.

এভানেসেন্স is intending to release an album in 2010, a new album, so they haven't broken up. Sure, there's been a lot of band members leaving, but এভানেসেন্স is still functioning.

Hope this explains things to you. :)

এভানেসেন্স has never broken up.

Before the release of "Fallen", David Hodges left Evanescence. He was the keyboardist and back up/duet person on "Origin" and in track 4 "Origin" and "Fallen" version of "My Immortal."

In October 2003 Ben Moody left the band in the middle of their European tour. He was repleaced দ্বারা Terry Balsamo.

Before the release of Evanescence's সেকেন্ড album "The Open Door", Will Boyd left the band. I think this was in June 2006. He was replaced দ্বারা Tim McCord.

I think around December 2006 John LeCompt's wife had their সেকেন্ড child. এভানেসেন্স had to বাতিল a প্রদর্শনী অথবা two for that. I think around the beginning few months of 2007 John LeCompt and Rocky Grey were fired from the band দ্বারা Amy. They were replaced with Troy McLawhorn and Will Hunt.

Amy gave reasons for Ben's departure as "creative differences." As for the departure of Will Boyd I think she ব্যক্ত he wasn't up for a very long tour again and he wanted to go on his own অথবা something. As for the firing of John and Rocky, Amy gave the reason as the band was unhealthy.
