Fantasy author Neil Gaiman and Dresden Dolls lead singer Amanda Palmer parted ways. Palmer announced the split to the world, and, apparently, to Gaiman himself, in a post about his Patreon: “Since people get confused and ask, and my phone and inbox explode with ‘where’s Neil?’ Several times a minute … I can only deduce that he finally told the Internet that he left New Zealand, and I thought he would come here with a short note. “The note does not specify the reason for the breakup, but Palmer says it is.” heartbroken. “Gaiman now lives in the UK, and Palmer is quarantined in New Zealand with the couple’s 4-year-old son.

After Palmer’s announcement on Sunday night, Gaiman addressed his relationship difficulties the next morning, albeit with less purpose. “I see [Palmer] He has told people that we (like much of the world) are going through difficult times right now. It is true, we are. It’s really difficult, and I’d like to request privacy (since I’m not going to talk about it publicly) and kindness, for us and for Ash, “he wrote. Palmer and Gaiman were married in 2011.
