Ghost’s Skeletá is Number Two in the UK midweek charts
Ghost are facing up against Stereophonics and the Welsh rockers’ 13th album Make ’Em Laugh, Make ’Em Cry, Make ’Em Wait in the Official Albums Chart.
Goodbye, Papa Emeritus IV! Looks like we’ll be meeting Papa V Perpetua at Villa Park for Black Sabbath’s final show in July…
If the unreal announcement of Ozzy Osbourne’s final show with Black Sabbath wasn’t enough, Ghost have also dropped a very big update themselves.
The band’s iconic frontman is set to be a part of the all-star day at Villa Park on July 5 – but it won’t be as we know him. In fact, it seems as though Ghost have decided to surprise-reveal their next singer as Papa V Perpetua, with his name sitting between Faith No More’s Mike Bordin and Rudy Sarzo on the ridiculously stacked gig poster.
“We wish to inform you V is coming…” Ghost say in a brief social media update. “To Birmingham on July 5th. Slide for more information.”
So, farewell to Papa Emeritus IV, and we’ll soon be able to say hello to Papa V Perpetua…
