William James Boyd (born April 27, 1979) was the tour bassist for Evanescence from 2003 to 2006. After Fallen was completed, he was hired as a tour player to perform bass on the Fallen tour, along with the other tour players Rocky (drums) and John (rhythm guitar).[1] None of the tour players were part of the making of Fallen. In a 2003 interview, Ben said that only Rocky could play on the next Evanescence album and John and Will weren't needed on the next album.[2]

He's been a part of multiple bands, including The Visitors and Lucky Father Brown before playing for Evanescence, and the bands Two Spines and American Princes. He co-wrote his band's song "So Close",[citation needed] which Evanescence covered on their 1998 EP.[3] Will had played live on some pre-Fallen Evanescence shows, e.g. the Vino's Bar concert in January 1999.[4] He recorded bass on Evanescence's second album The Open Door and co-wrote on the B-side If You Don't Mind, which was included on the compilation album Lost Whispers in 2016.[5] He left Evanescence in June of 2006 after he finished recording for The Open Door as he didn't want to embark on another long tour and wanted to take a break and spend time with his family.[6]
