I don't think anyone said anything conclusively. Heresay was that he couldn't stay in the band for reasons that weren't entirely his choice though (be it his health, or issues with another member, etc)
I always thought he had mostly left for differences. You can tell by his posterior projects that gothic stuff wasn't his thing, he just went full glam.
I may be mis-remembering, but I'm pretty sure Mana mentioned somewhere in recent years that although Juka tried really hard, the whole goth stuff (or just the death-voice thing?) really wasnt his thing. I've heard a different story from fans from that time regarding why he left m10m, but wasnt the health stuff a few years later?
Has the "health" excuse been true ever with any band? I've seen it used so much through-out the years and mostly by the remaining band members and never the person who left. It's not like health problems stopped Beethoven, lmao. As far as I remember, from my early teens, Juka was a good singer and a solid front man. He had charisma and he sang really well all the clean parts. The rougher vocals were handed over to the bassist, right?
Bah, I always saw health as a way of saying 'don't wanna say'. Whatever the reason, I was at his last live with M10M. He almost started crying at one point and it kinda hit me in the feels.
