GHOST Gearing Up To Replace Papa Emeritus Again - "Number II Is A Real Asshole"
May 29, 2014, 10 years ago
According to a report from Classic Rock, Swedish outfit Ghost are preparing to replace frontman Papa Emeritus II, a claim made by one of the band's Nameless Ghouls.
The original lead character was exchanged ahead of the launch of second album Infestissumam, launched last year – although it's widely believed the same person remained under a new outfit.
On May 28th an unidentified band member told TeamRock at Sonisphere Finland: "There will definitely be a third; we're looking into the options right now. We're trying to work out who's the best candidate. Number II is a real asshole so we're looking for someone with a different approach to things. He still has to be an entertainer, but we're narrowing down the contenders."
