Evanescence singer hasn't spoken with ex since breakup

Evanescence will travel for the first time this spring to South Africa, the homeland of singer Amy Lee's former boyfriend, Seether frontman Shaun Morgan. Despite that connection, Lee told us that she hasn't spoken with Morgan since the couple broke up in late 2005: "You know how relationships are. It really is hard to still be friends and talk all the time when there's hurt feelings there, you know. You open yourself up and there's a wound there, and even after it heals, it's sort of like, you can't heal together. That's not really healing for the most part. So, no, we're not really talking or anything, but I hear he's doing good and they're working on a new album, so all the best."

Lee has said that "Call Me When You're Sober," from Evanescence's 2006 album The Open Door, was inspired by her two-year relationship with Morgan. The Seether frontman eventually went through rehab last summer and is now working on his group's third record.

Evanescence is playing South Africa's My Coke Festival on April 27th in Johannesburg and May 1st in Cape Town. The band will also perform in South America for the first time later this month.

The band is slated to co-headline this summer's Family Values tour with Korn, which starts on July 20th in St. Louis.
