During an emotional evening, Stephen said goodbye to Within Temptation and her fans.
The last show was taking place in Antwerpen, as the last show of the Theatertour Reprise

Stephen got a present from the band, a big canvas with all the shows he played with them on it.
The crew had a suprise to, by inflating a huge nun during Ice Queen

After the show, the goodbye book made by fans was given to him..

TSF wishes Stephen all the best the next years and we hope to see him soon!
