Nightwish’s drummer has been sidelined for sometime with insomnia, but has mustered up the courage to return to the stage much to the surprise of the fans!

Jukka Nevalainen rejoined his band to perform the final song of the Himos Park show in Jamsa, Finland on the 20th August.

It’s good to see him back with those sticks again, and we hope he can return to the band full time sooner rather than later!

In the meantime, Kai Hahto of Wintersun has been doing a bang up job of Nightiwish’s resident stick-man.
