LACUNA COIL singer Cristina Scabbia has posted an emotional end-of-year message in which she revealed that she lost both her parents in 2017 and ended her more-than-decade-long relationship with SLIPKNOT guitarist Jim Root.
She wrote: “I find myself thinking about everything that happened to me in 2017. So many things have happened.

“In few months, I have lost both my parents, the two human beings I loved the most in the entire universe, the ones who always supported me and made me who I am today and will guide me until the end of my days.
“I have ended a very long relationship [which] fullfilled 13 years of my existence and my heart.
“I have lost lots of precious lives around me.
“I shared laughs and tears with my friends. I know more than ever how much I care about them.

“I like to think that everything happens for a reason. Even the most heartbreaking experiences taught me so much and gave me this feeling of… almost being invincible.
“I know that the most important things in life can’t be purchased, I know love is all around me, I know I have an army of friends that I love to death, I have lots of great plans for 2018. Most of all, I do know happiness starts from the inside, regardless of what is happening on the outside.
“I wish you all a great end of the year and may 2018 be bright and full of inspiration.”
