2 September 2005 Dear friends
After many days of contemplation I have decided to quit I Adapt. This is one of the hardest decisions I have taken in my life, From the moment I started playing in I Adapt it became my whole life and I've poured my heart and soul into it but after thinking about it very carefully I've decided that it is best for the band, myself and all the fans that I step aside and focus on other aspects of my life.
I want to use this opportunity to thank each and every one who has ever been to a concert, listened to the music which I am so proud of, or has interacted with the band in any way, being former members, promoters, bands we have played with or simply one of the many individuals who have talked to me because of the band.
I have lived the best moments of my life with the band, weather it's on stage, during practice or just among the amazing people that have been close to the band one way or another.
I have fulfilled all my childhood dreams with this band and more, released records, toured the world, lived to look out into the audience and see people singing with the songs I've poured my heart and soul into, played with some of my favourite bands, foreign and domestic and endless more. But most important are the bonds of friendship I've created with the members of the band both current and old, and all the rest both here at home and abroad. I can't put it into words how greateful I am for getting to know you all and to share all those good moments and memories with you.
I want to say that I am leaving the band on good terms with Ingi, Elli and Birkir and that we are still all friends and hopefully we will always be. I wish them and the band all the best in the future and I know that the band will go far since it is without any doubt one of the best hardcore punk bands I know of.
Once again, thank you all for the good moments and memories
Yours sincerely,
Villi
