Los Angeles, Sep 22 (IANS): US band Evanescence are planning to take a hiatus after their upcoming performance in Britain.

The band will be touring Britain in November to perform some of their major hits but want to relax after that, the band's lead singer Amy Lee said.

"I haven't been sitting down to write. I'm thinking we'll take a break first. I'm really not sure what I'll do next. At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order. I think at the end of the run we'll go on a break for a while and figure things out," Nme magazine quoted her as saying.

The 30-year-old singer said that even though people consider taking breaks as wrong, she feels otherwise.

"Taking long breaks is seen as a bad thing, but I don't think it's a bad thing. People have the idea that you have to keep putting stuff out while people remember you. But I'd rather make something that's awesome and then make people remember again," she said.
