Sabaton recently confirmed the departure of guitarists Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén, drummer Daniel Mulback and keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr, with vocalist Joakim Bróden and bassist Pär Sundström vowing to continue the band with new members.

An update from Sabaton stated: "To end all rumors that Sabaton will stop touring, or even act/perform as a band, we can now present that Sabaton's new lineup will be as follows:

Joakim Brodén - vocals

Pär Sundström - bass

Chris Rörland - guitars

Thobbe Englund - guitars

Robban Bäck - drums

"At the moment we are still searching for a keyboard player. Until we have found the right guy we will still have Daniel Myhr with us, in digital form, since he has specially recorded all keyboards for us to use on tour.

Therefore, we are not cancelling any shows at all - the war machine of Sabaton will go on just as planned! The MKII of Sabaton is ready for the next chapter."
